A glance at the potential record-breaking feats we could witness at the ninth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean.
With the format known for its record-breaking feats, let's take a look at some of the records that could be broken in this edition of the tournament.
Most Fours
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.
Fastest Hundred (by balls)
With 47- and 50-ball centuries, Chris Gayle currently holds the top two spots for the fastest century in the Men's T20 World Cup. With Nepal's Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton setting the fastest overall T20 century at just 33 balls this year, this record could very well be under threat.
Most catches by a fielder
AB de Villiers currently sits at the top of the table for most catches as a fielder in the Men's T20 World Cup with 23 catches to his name.
First team to win all ICC Trophies at the same time
Pat Cummins led Australia to history last year when they won the ICC Test Championship and ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2023. 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 Runs in a single edition of the tournament
With the total number of teams expanding from 16 to a record 20 in this edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, teams have the potential to play up to nine matches in the tournament. With this increase in matches, one can expect the record of total runs accumulated in a single edition to be challenged.
