Most runs for India in T20I death overs

India haven’t been a traditionally been a T20I dominant force in the cricketing world despite clinching the maiden edition in 2007. However, they have played some excellent cricket over the years and the introduction of IPL has helped a lot for the Indian side to identify the suitable talents in T20 format. With that said, let us look at the top three players with most runs for India in the death overs in T20I cricket.

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya came into the Indian side on the back of his strong all-round abilities and he is one of the best strikers of the cricket ball in the world. The right-hander has emerged into a dangerous proportion in the last few years and can add a lot of runs at the back end of the innings. He has already scored 650 runs in the last four overs in T20Is for India and is likely to add some more to the tally in his upcoming assignments.

Virat Kohli

It is tough to find a list that does not feature the name of Virat Kohli, and the batter, despite his slow starts, has managed to make up for it with some strong finishes in the final overs. The right-hander has scored 749 runs in death overs for India in T20Is at a strike rate of nearly 200. The 34-year-old barely gives chances to the bowlers and has managed to run the hard two’s even if he is not hitting the boundaries.

MS Dhoni

The legendary MS Dhoni holds the record for the most runs in death overs for India in T20Is and the wicketkeeper-batter has always thrived on transferring pressure onto the bowlers. He is one of the fearsome hitters of the cricket ball and had the ability to clear the ropes with ease. He scored a total of 856 runs in the final overs for India in T20Is and the record is likely to be broken soon.
