A unique record that Kohli holds is that of scoring a half-century in every T20 World Cup knockout match he has played in. He scored 72* and 77 against South Africa and Sri Lanka in 2014, 89* against the West Indies in 2016, and 50 against England in 2022.
He has not had the same success in the ICC World Test Championship, however with his four innings in that competition yielding just 120 runs, with a top score of 49.
