IND vs SA 1st T20I: Virat Kohli will again become number one, in this case, beating captain Rohit, only so many runs are needed

Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, is going to take the field once again just three days after winning the T20 series 2-1 against Australia. The Indian team will take on South Africa in the first match of the three-match T20 series at the Greenfield International Cricket Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram today. This will be the last chance for Team India to rectify their mistakes before the T20 World Cup. Rohit's team would like to leave for Australia with a boost of morale after winning the T20 series against South Africa. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has a chance to overtake skipper Rohit Sharma in this series.

Rohit is at the top of the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs in T20 International cricket at the moment. But Virat can now regain the number one position and for this, he needs only 35 runs. Virat lost his number one crown to Rohit and New Zealand's Martin Guptill. But he returned to number two in the Asia Cup, where he scored his maiden century in T20 Internationals.

In T20I cricket, Rohit is currently at the top with 3694 runs. He has scored four centuries in 139 matches so far. At the same time, Kohli has scored 3660 runs in 107 T20I matches. Guptill remains at number three with 3497 runs. Ireland's Paul Stirling is fourth with 3011 runs and Pakistan's captain Babar Azam is at number five with 2939 runs from 84 matches.
