Given:

Average score of 19 innings = 65 runs

Formula used:

Total run = average run × number of innings

Calculation:

Total score in 19th innings = 65 × 19 = 1235 runs

Total run after 20th innings = 67 × 20 = 1340 runs

Total run scored in 20th inning = (1340 - 1235) = 105 runs

∴ The correct answer is 105 runs.
