T20 WC 2026: IND vs. PAK – Top Records That Could Get Shattered During the Epic Clash

WHAT'S THE STORY?

In the upcoming fiery encounter, we expect some records to be shattered

Last year, India registered three easy victories against PAK in the 2025 Asia Cup.

However, in the upcoming Sunday T20 World Cup clash, we expect PAK to give India a tough fight, hoping that the clash will turn out to be an epic encounter. After all, nobody likes easy wins. Should both teams score substantial runs and wickets fall at the bowler's discretion, we anticipate the match to break several current records.

Highest team total

Between India and Pakistan in T20I history, the highest target set by one of the teams (India) is 192/5 in Ahmedabad in 2012. Therefore, either of the teams, if it scores more than 192 runs, will break the record. Our bet is on India, given the team’s star batting line-up that has the potential to score huge.

Most sixes in T20Is

Between India and PAK, the greatest number of sixes in T20Is belongs to Virat Kohli with 11 sixes in 11 matches. However, with Kohli out of the T20I format, Sahibzada Farhan and Abhishek Sharma are in the race to surpass Kohli’s record. Farhan has hit nine sixes, while Sharma has hit seven; therefore, Farhan needs to hit three more sixes to surpass Kohli's record, and Sharma needs to hit five more sixes.

Highest individual score

In the India and PAK’s T20I rivalry, the highest individual score belongs to Virat Kohli, whose record stands at 82. Any player from either team can break the record if they score more than 83. Once again, we are betting on the Indian batting stars, who possess the potential to deliver a significant innings. From PAK's dugout, Babar Azam could be one player who breaks this record.

Most wickets in T20Is

When it comes to the greatest number of T20I wickets taken between India and PAK in T20Is, Hardik Pandya leads the way with 15 wickets in nine matches. The only player who comes close is Jasprit Bumrah with nine wickets, but picking a six-wicket haul is an incredibly difficult task for any bowler. Not to forget, if Pandya picks one or more wickets, he will increase his record tally. In short, Pandya will be breaking his record.

Five-wicket haul

In the India and PAK T20I rivalry, there have been several three-wicket and four-wicket hauls. However, since 2007, no player from the two sides has managed a five-wicket haul in the format against each other. If any of the bowlers from the two sides get a five-wicket haul, it will be a first and a new record.

Overall, India appears to be in a more comfortable position to pursue more individual and team records, but ultimately, victory is the most important factor, and the Men in Blue must replicate their success from last year's Asia Cup 2025.
