4. Highest team total in IND vs AUS T20Is

The Indian team scored 235 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. It’s the highest score ever between India and Australia in T20Is.
India’s score of 235/4 beat Australia’s previous record of 211/6, which they made in Mohali in 2022.

2. Highest score by an Indian in powerplay in a T20I
Yashasvi Jaiswal played really well at the beginning of the game, which amazed the audience. He’s a young player, and in only his 10th time playing this type of cricket game, he helped set up a good situation for India.
He scored 53 runs in just 25 balls, which is really fast. He had a great strike rate of 212. Sadly, he got out on the second to last ball before the powerplay ended.
Still, his 53 runs during the match are the most any Indian player has ever scored in the early part of this type of cricket game. He broke the record held by Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who each scored 50 runs in a similar game against New Zealand and Scotland.
1. Joint-most wins in T20I history
India and Pakistan are now tied for the most wins in T20I cricket after India’s impressive victory against Australia. India won their 135th match in this format, putting them equal with Pakistan. Despite this, India has a better win percentage. India has played 211 T20I matches, while Pakistan has played 226.
