India skipper and former skipper have made breaking records and registering milestones a habit and the two go into the opening T20I against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Sunday with milestones awaiting for them. While Kohli needs just 44 runs to become only the third player in the history of T20Is to score 2000 runs, Dhoni needs 3 more catches to accomplish the feat of 50 catches in T20Is. He will be the second player after AB de Villiers to have taken 50 T20I catches.

For Kohli, he has former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum (2188 runs) and Martin Guptill (2140 runs) ahead of him. Kohli has scored 1956 runs in 51 innings at an average of 52.86 and a strike rate of 137.84. In Dhoni’s case, while he sits on 47 catches, AB de Villiers has the most catches (65 catches).
