New Delhi [India], the first T20 World Cup with 20 teams will go down in history for several reasons. The tournament ended with Team India ending their ICC trophy drought, securing a seven-run victory over first-time finalists South Africa in an edge-of-your-seat thriller in Barbados.
Here's a closer look at some amazing feats and records broken in the West Indies and the United States.
With two undefeated teams facing off in the final, it was clear that the champion would set a new record for most wins in a tournament. In fact, India and South Africa finished with eight wins; India missed out on a possible victory because one of their matches (against Canada in the group stage) was a failure.
However, India's 176/7 in the final was the highest of any team in a men's T20 World Cup final, surpassing Australia's 173/2 against New Zealand in 2021.
At the age of 37 years and 60 days, Rohit Sharma became the oldest man to captain a team to T20 World Cup glory, according to ICC.
It was a fantastic tournament for the players, and both Fazalhaq Farooqi of semi-finalists Afghanistan and Arshdeep Singh of champions India took 17 wickets, the most in a single edition, one more than previous record holder Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka.
India's sensation Jasprit Bumrah finished with the best bowling average of an edition, with 8.3, ahead of Anrich Nortje's figures of 8.5 in 2022. Bumrah, who also had an economy of 4.17, was a unanimous decision for the tournament's 'Player of the Prize'.
And it was England's Chris Jordan who holds the record for the best bowling success rate in a tournament, with 8.3, ahead of Fazalhaq Farooqi (8.9) and Tabraiz Shamsi (9.2) this year, as well as the previous record holder Jacques Kallis (9.4). ) since 2012.
Jordan claimed four wickets in an unseen quadruple maiden against the United States. Curtis Campher, who claimed four wickets in four balls against Holland in 2021, conceded two in his over.
New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson also made history as the first man to bowl four maiden overs in one stage of the T20 World Cup. He finished with figures of 3/0 (4) against Papua New Guinea in the Kiwis' final group match of the tournament.
There were plenty of big knocks too, with 2024 recording the most boundaries in an edition of the T20 World Cup so far, with 1,478, eclipsing 2021's 1,349. Unsurprisingly, within that, 2024 also had the most of six: 515, more than 100 more than the 405 in 2021.
And West Indies' Nicholas Pooran scored the most sixes in a T20 World Cup - his 17 surpassing the record of 16 set by his legendary compatriot Chris Gayle.
