Virat Kohli (Source: Twitter)As the Year 2022 comes to a close, Aakash Chopra did a year in review, naming the best performances for India in T20 cricket. Chopra has put Virat Kohli on the third position when it comes to T20 batters of the year 2022.
The former India cricketer was quick to state that Kohli could not have found a place on this list because he was going through a rough patch of form. However, the year turned around for the former India captain as he roared back to his imperious best with big runs in the Asia Cup and at the 20-20 World Cup.
He lauded Virat Kohli when he scored 276 runs in five innings and also made his maiden century in the T20 format against Afghanistan during Asia Cup. He scored 122 of 61 balls against Afghanistan. He was also the second-highest run-scorer of the tournament.

"Nobody would have imagined that Virat Kohli would find a place on this list. He struggled for form, and his performances were quite underwhelming in the Indian T20 League too. Everything was going wrong for him." "However, he was able to turn things around. He was outstanding during the T20 World Cup. The pitch was quite challenging against Pakistan and England, but he still managed to score." Chopra added.
Kohli was the best batter for India in the 20-20 World Cup 2022. He scored 296 runs from six innings at an average of 98.66 and a strike rate of 136.40. His stand-out innings included a stunning unbeaten 82 against Pakistan in the 20-20 World Cup opener for India. He finished as the top-run scorer of the 20-20 World Cup.
The former India opener also stated that Suryakumar Yadav has been a revelation for India in 2022 with the bat in T20 cricket. The right-handed batter is famous for his 360-degree style of play. He has played game-changing innings for India in the 20-20 format and scored two hundreds for India in 2022.
