Rohit tops against Windies

-

585 Rohit Sharma's run-aggregate against the West Indies in T20I cricket. This is now the most runs scored against the Caribbean side in this format. His teammate Virat Kohli is second in this list. In the series against the West Indies, they both surpassed the previous record tally of 570 runs held by Pakistan’s Babar Azam.

89 The number of runs made by Ishan Kishan against Sri Lanka in the Lucknow T20I on Feb 24, 2022. This was Kishan's highest score in internatio­nal career. This is now the highest by an Indian wicketkeep­er in this format. He bettered the previous score of 65 by Rishabh Pant against the West Indies at Providence on Aug 6, 2019.

4 The number of fielders to claim fifty or more catches in T20 internatio­nal cricket. Rohit Sharma, in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Dharamsala, became the latest to achieve this.

7 India's consecutiv­e T20I bilateral series victories at home. Since defeating Bangladesh 2-1 in November 2019, India has won the series against six more sides. This is now the second-best performanc­e by a home side, just one short of Australia's record tally of eight home series wins from January 2006 to February 2010. Before the start of this home series winning sequence since November 2019, India, in September 2019, had drawn the three-match series one-all against South Africa (with the deciding final match in Dharamsala being washed out) and before the South African series, India had lost to Australia 0-2 (with one match in Guwahati washed out). This means India has not lost its last eight T20I series at home.

3 The number of T20I sides to win 12 consecutiv­e T20I matches. India, in the final match, in Dharamsala became the latest to achieve this unique record.

8 The number of occasions India has managed to win all its matches in a three-or-more match T20I series. India, this season, has managed to do this against three internatio­nal sides — New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka.

All records are correct and updated until Feb 27, 2022
