Second on the list is Virat Kohli, who scored 641 T20I runs for India in 2016 alone! It was one of Kohli's best years with the bat for India.

His brilliant 50 against Hong Kong pushed him to 4th on this list and with a lot more T20I matches yet to be played this year, he can easily move to the top.
