In both cases, he left behind Virat Kohli, who has 231 runs and 13 sixes to his name.
Rishabh Pant
The wicketkeeper batsman, who returned to the cricket field after fighting with his life, also played some amazing innings this year. In the low-scoring match played between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup this year, Pant played an important role in the team’s victory by playing a fighting inning of 42 runs. Meanwhile, while batting in the lower middle order in Test matches, he also took the team to respectable scores several times. This year he has scored 509 runs in 7 Test matches while he has scored 222 runs in 10 T20 Internationals.
