Key records shattered in T20 World Cup 2024

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 made history for numerous remarkable feats and record-breaking performances in the West Indies and USA.

India's total of 176/7 in the final surpassed all previous scores in T20 World Cup finals, eclipsing Australia's 173/2 against New Zealand in 2021.

At 37 years and 60 days old, Rohit Sharma became the oldest captain to lead his team to T20 World Cup glory.

Bowling saw its share of records too, with Fazalhaq Farooqi of Afghanistan and Arshdeep Singh of India both claiming 17 wickets, the highest by any player in a single edition, surpassing the previous record set by Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga.

Jasprit Bumrah of India boasted the best bowling average in a tournament edition with 8.3, ahead of Anrich Nortje's 8.5 in 2022.

England's Chris Jordan set a new record for the best bowling strike rate in a tournament, with 8.3, highlighted by his remarkable feat of taking four wickets in an over against the USA.

New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson made history by bowling four maiden overs in a single T20 World Cup spell, finishing with figures of 3/0 (4) against Papua New Guinea.

Despite impressive bowling displays, the tournament also saw a surge in big hitting, recording the highest number of boundaries (1,478) and sixes (515) in any T20 World Cup so far, surpassing the previous marks set in 2021.

Nicholas Pooran of West Indies led the charge with 17 sixes, breaking the previous record of 16 held by Chris Gayle.
