Highest batting average in World T20s

The law of averages have been defied; batting records have tumbled; and Virat Kohli has grown day by day. On completion of another impeccable innings at the Wankhede – he was unbeaten on 89 – he became numero uno in terms of average run making in the T20 World Cup.

Even the magical Mike Hussey falls behind the Indian Test skipper by an astonishing 32 runs per innings. Here goes the list of the best five averages in the shortest format’s number one trophy:

Player	Runs	Innings	Average
Virat Kohli	777	16	86.33
Mike Hussey	437	16	54.63
Kevin Pietersen	580	15	44.61
JP Duminy	568	23	40.57
Chris Gayle	920	26	40.00
