In the realm of T20 cricket, running consistently well over the years is not an easy task. The format requires power, accuracy, and versatility and there are very few who have been able to achieve it. One of them is Virat Kohli, who is now at No. 5 on the list of all-time highest run-scorers in T20 cricket.

A glance at the top five:

• Chris Gayle – 14,562 runs (455 innings)
• Alex Hales – 13,610 runs (490 innings)
• Shoaib Malik – 13,537 runs (513 innings)
• Kieron Pollard – 13,537 runs (617 innings)
• Virat Kohli – 12,945* runs (383 innings)

What's remarkable is Kohli's amazing average and consistency. With significantly fewer innings than those ranked above him, he's demonstrated that class and timing can rival raw power in T20s.

As Kohli keeps playing, fans expect him to rank even higher. One thing is certain the King still reigns supreme.
