Most Runs for India against Pakistan in T20I

India vs Pakistan has always served as a feast for the cricketing fans over the years. The fans are not the only elements that have enjoyed India playing against Pakistan, as the likes of Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir have excelled in their batting roles.

Most Runs for India against Pakistan in T20I

The former India captain, Kohli has a proud record against Pakistan and is the leading run-scorer against the arch-rival.

Now 33, Virat Kohli always seems to bring the best out of him when he plays against the Green Army. So far he has played in 8 matches and has amassed 346 runs. This tally of runs includes three fifties with a best of unbeaten 78. Moreover it is his average that raises the eyebrows as he currently leads the chart with 69.20.

Next in the line is another World Cup winner and the man who in his playing days was a beast against Pakistan, that is Yuvraj Singh. Member of the 2007 T20 World Cup winning team, Yuvraj has scored 155 runs in 8 matches and averages 25.83. Yuvraj’s best tally of 72 runs against Pakistan came in 2012 while he was on the pitch twice in the victories against Pakistan.

Gautam Gambhir is the next man in line as he played an important role against Pakistan in the 2007 T20 World Cup final. Gambhir has scored 139 runs against Pakistan in five matches and was striking at a rate of 125, when he announced his retirement. His aggression was another part of the equation when he stepped on the field against Pakistan.

MS Dhoni might not have been the most decorated player on the list considering his tally of 93 runs. But the big slog-hitter was the main reason India won the 2007 T20 World Cup. His tally of 93 runs came in 6 innings at a strike rate of 119.23.

Despite being a modern-day great, Rohit Sharma is yet to flourish against Pakistan and has scored 82 runs against them in six innings. Rohit has never scored a fifty against Pakistan but has been out for a duck on two occasions.
