Most Runs in a single edition of the tournament

With increase in matches, one can expect the record of total runs accumulated in a single edition to be challenged. Currently, the record belongs to Virat Kohli who scored 319 runs in 6 matches in the 2014 edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

First team to win all ICC Trophies at the same time

In the Caribbean this year they have the opportunity to become the first team in history to hold the ICC Trophies in all three formats of the game at the same time if they manage to win the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Most catches by a fielder

David Warne will look to get the record of most catches by a fielder in his name as he gears up to play another T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma and Glenn Maxwell are also in the running for the pole position as they both are joint-fourth in the list with 16 catches each.

Fastest Hundred (By Balls)

With Namibia's Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton setting the fastest overall T20 century at just 33 balls this year, the record for fastest hundred could very well be under threat. With the expanded teams in this edition and the high strike-rates witnessed already this year, expect this record to be broken in this edition.

Most Fours in single T20 World Cup

Virat Kohli has scored 103 fours in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and is just behind Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardena’s 111 fours. Kohli already holds the record for the highest run tally in the tournament, and the chase master will aim to add another accolade to his name in this edition.
