Who has scored the most runs in India vs Pakistan T20 matches, top run getters ahead of Asia Cup 2025

Preparations for another big match between India and Pakistan have begun. Asia Cup 2025 is all set to begin from the next month. The first match of the tournament will be played on 9th September, but all eyes will be on 14th September, the day when India and Pakistan face each other. This time around, Asia Cup will be played in the T20 International format (T20I) i.e shortest format of the game

In these circumstances, it is essential for you to be aware that each time the teams from India and Pakistan have competed against each other in the T20 format, certain batsmen have accumulated the highest runs. Let's take a look at them

Virat Kohli occupies the first position

The batsman who has scored the most runs in India vs Pakistan T20 matches is the legendary Virat Kohli of Team India. He is so far ahead of the other batsmen that it does not seem possible to overtake him at the moment. The right-handed batter has scored 492 runs in 11 T20 International matches against the Shaheens from 2012 to 2024. He has scored five half-centuries against them and has scored runs at a mind-blowing average of 70.28 and a strike rate of 123.92.

The names of these batsmen come after Kohli

After Virat Kohli, the second highest scorer is Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan. He has scored 228 runs in five T20 International matches against India so far. He has scored two half-centuries during this period. At the third position is former Batting All-Rounder Shoaib Malik of Pakistan, who has scored 164 runs in nine matches against the Men in Blue. After this comes the turn of Mohammad Hafeez, who has scored 156 runs in eight T20 matches versus the two-time T20 World Cup winners. 

Kohli will not go to second place this time too

You have already seen how far ahead Virat Kohli is from Mohammad Rizwan and other batsmen. Kohli may have retired from T20 International and is not playing the Asia Cup this time, but still it does not seem that any other batsman will be able to leave him behind. Mohammad Rizwan is closest to Kohli, but he has not been included in the Pakistan cricket team for the Asia Cup.
