The Men in Blue struck 255 runs against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to register the highest total ever recorded in a T20 World Cup Final match.
2) Highest Opening Wicket Partnership In T20 World Cup Final
Abhishek Sharma had been faltering the entire tournament, but he came good in the ultimate showdown, smashing a half-century. While the southpaw remained at the crease, he registered a 98-run opening wicket stand with Sanju Samson, who went on to score 89 runs.
3) Fastest Fifty In T20 World Cup 2026
Speaking of Abhishek Sharma’s half century, it was not only crucial for India, but also the fastest in this year’s tournament. He had reached the mark in just 18 balls.
4) First Team To Hit 100+ Sixes In A T20 Series
The Men in Blue play aggressive cricket, and big hits are a big part of their game. They collectively hit 18 sixes in the final, but overall, crossed 100 sixes in this edition of the tournament.
5) First team to score consecutive 250+ in T20Is
The Indian batsmen smashed 250+ scores against England and then New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final and final, respectively, to become the first team to do so in T20 International matches.
