India v West Indies, 3rd T20I: Records created today!

India, after winning the first T20I, failed to win the second as West Indies levelled the series. However, the decider went completely India’s way as the batters took in charge to take the team home safe. 

After the great knocks from Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, Virat Kohli capitalized the start and took India to 240 in their 20 overs.

Batting next, West Indies couldn’t handle the pressure and fell 67 runs short of the total. Pollard was the stand out performer for the visitors, who once again entertained the Wankhede with an excellent half century. 

Talking about the records:

Rohit Sharma became the first Indian to score 400 international sixes.

Chris Gayle (534) 

Shahid Afridi (476) 

Rohit Sharma (404)*

He is also the fastest to 400 sixes.

Rohit Sharma also crossed 500 runs against West Indies in T20Is, first man to do so.

This is the first time three batters from the same team have scored 70+ runs in a T20 match.

Kohli’s 21-ball fifty is his fastest and fifth fastest from an Indian cricketer in men’s T20I. Also, this is the fastest by an Indian captain in Men’s T20I.

He now has the most number of sixes in T20I series for India. 

He is the first player to score 1000+ runs in T20Is at home. 

This was Kohli’s 6th Man of the series award in T20Is

KL Rahul’s third consecutive 90+ score at the Wankhede.
