Total Runs Scored | Sri Lanka’s former captain Mahela Jayawardene is currently the highest run-scorer in T20 World Cup history. But Jayawardene’s record is under threat now from both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have scored a total of 847 and 845 runs, respectively, in T20 World Cups, so far. Australian skipper David Warner, who has scored 762 runs till now, may also dethrone Jayawardene. (Images: AFP)

Most Sixes by Indian Player | India’s former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s epic ‘six 6s’ in the inaugural edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007 is etched in history; it has still not been broken by any player. Singh holds the record for the most sixes by an Indian player across T20 World Cups with 33 sixes in 28 innings. Rohit Sharma, who has hit 31 sixes so far in T20 World Cups, is aiming to break Singh’s record and lead the chart with the highest number of sixes by an Indian player. (Images: AFP)
