    Decoding the unique records scripted in World T20

    The ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is currently underway and the Super 12s stage will start from Saturday onwards with the big guns going forward with their campaign. So far across the six editions held, there have been several unique records that were scripted by both teams and individuals alike. Here we present the unique records held in the ICC T20 World Cup.

    Former Sri Lankan ace Mahela Jayawardene holds the record for the most runs in the ICC T20 World Cup. He went on to amass 1,016 runs from 31 matches at an average of 39.07.

    Bangladesh' Shakib holds this unique record

    Shakib Al Hasan is the only player to have racked up 30-plus wickets and scored 600-plus runs in the T20 World Cup. The Bangladesh all-rounder has the joint-third highest number of wickets in the World Cup (35). He has scored the sixth-highest number of runs as well, accumulating 675 runs at 29.34.

    Two successive Man of the Tournament awards

    Virat Kohli was adjudged the Man of Tournament in the 2014 and 2016 editions of the World T20. He is the only player in T20 WC history to win successive Man of the Tournament awards.
