T20 World Cup 2022: 5 T20I Records That Might Be Broke In This Season Of T20 WC


T20 World Cup 2022: Be it individually or collectively, or even in a huge competition, records are supposed to be broken. Many World Cup records have been set and died throughout the years thanks to some remarkable cricketing performances.

Since its beginning in 2007, the ICC T20 World Cup has seen several records broken. Be it Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes in a single over off Stuart Broad or Chris Gayle becoming the first century in the competition’s history.

The premier T20 cricket tournament saw numerous historical events up till the final edition in the UAE in 2021. Without further ado, here is a look at the five records that can be broken in the eighth edition of the T20 World Cup, which will take place in Australia in October and November.

T20 World Cup 2022: Here Are 5 Records That Might Broke In This Edition Of T20 WC

1. Yuvraj Singh’s Record for The Most Sixes

Rohit Sharma made his T20 World Cup debut at the first tournament in South Africa in 2007. When India defeated Pakistan in a thrilling final over to win the tournament. He will have a special interest in the 2022 edition since he will be leading the Men in Blue from the front in Australia.

Rohit, meanwhile, has the chance to have a huge effect on the event this time around. The “Hitman” just needs three sixes to beat Yuvraj Singh, a former colleague and close friend, who currently holds the record for the most maximums scored by an Indian batter in a T20 World Cup with 33.

Nevertheless, Virat Kohli has a chance to surpass this total. The batting superstar had 20 sixes in the championship game, and should he find his form again in Australia. He could be able to break or nearly break this record.

2. Top run-scorer in T20 World Cups- Mahela Jayawardene’s record

Mahela Jayawardene has amassed 1016 runs from 31 matches played between 2007. And 2014 editions of the T20 World Cup. That includes a century and six half-centuries with averages above 39 and an incredible strike rate of over 134. He was a crucial part of the Sri Lankan team that advanced to the finals in the 2009 and 2012 competitions and won in 2014.

Even though Jayawardene departed following the 2014 T20 World Cup, his record has not changed. However, the 2022 T20 World Cup presents a fantastic opportunity for numerous top-tier contemporary hitters from across the world to break this record.

These include players like David Warner, the Player of the Tournament in the previous season. Chris Gayle (965), Rohit Sharma (847), and Virat Kohli (845). The long-standing record in T20 World Cup history will get a new moniker if one of the hitters mentioned above has a dream run down under.

3. Lasith Malinga- Top Pacer Wicket-Taker In the T20 World Cup

When it comes to individual performances in T20 World Cups, Sri Lanka’s supremacy has left its imprint. With 38 wickets from 31 games played between 2007 and 2014. Former pace king Lasith Malinga is the competition’s all-time highest wicket-taker as a pacer. His economy rate was 7.43.

Mitchell Starc, a prominent Australian sprinter, stands a decent chance of surpassing Malinga’s total. Starc (24), who now has a total of 45 kills, simply needs 15 more to do the job. Tim Southee, a veteran New Zealand bowler, had 22 more wickets than the Australian.

Mitchell Starc ended as the top wicket-taker in both the 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cups. And a strong performance in the forthcoming World T20 in his home country might give him the chance to change history.

4. Tilakaratne Dilshan’s Record for Most Appearances in T20 World Cups

With 35 matches played between 2007 and 2016. Tilakaratne Dilshan is now the only player to have participated in most T20 World Cups. He was a vital part of Sri Lanka’s historic victory in the 2014 tournament in Bangladesh. While he may now hold the record, it will be updated in the following Australian edition.

Shoaib Malik (34) is one of the candidates to top Dilshan’s accomplishment; he only needs two more games. However, the Pakistani all-rounder will only be able to do so if he is chosen for the Pakistan team for the major competition.

The seasoned Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim, the West Indies Chris Gayle. And India’s Rohit Sharma, who has participated in 33 games total in this championship, is also a contender.

5. The Record for Mahela Jayawardene’s Most Fours

Mahela Jayawardene, a legendary batsman for Sri Lanka, is not only the all-time highest run scorer in T20 World Cup history, but he also holds the record for hitting the most fours during this competition.

Jayawardene smashed 111 fours in the 31 games he played between the 2007 and 2014 World Cups. And the record hasn’t been surpassed in the past seven years, so he’s still comfortably at the top of the list.

Even yet, several formidable competitors might break this record and establish themselves on the elite list this time around in Australia. These include Chris Gayle (78), David Warner (80), Virat Kohli (78), and Rohit Sharma (80).
