The Indian team under Rohit Sharma's captaincy has seen a transformation, and India's approach to playing the game has changed. The skipper too, will be expected to be at his best during the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, which is set to begin in Australia from October 16. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-reviews/suryakumar-yadav-arshdeep-singh-shine-as-india-defeat-western-australia-xi-in-warm-up-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Team India</a> has already started training for the global event and will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in their campaign opener.

World Cup is one of the events where the players have an opportunity to create a record or surpass their fellow cricketers to top the charts or rankings. The Indian skipper, who will be leading the Men in Blue at the T20 World Cup for the first time, is on the verge of breaking a few records and creating new ones. It will surely happen if things fall into place as per the plans!

On that note, let us have a look at five records that Rohit Sharma can break during the tournament-

<li> Highest Individual score as a captain in T20 World Cup</li>

Chris Gayle, while leading his side in the year 2010, notched up a 66-ball 98 runs while playing against India. 12 years down the line, his score stands as the highest ever by a skipper at the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup</a>. No other captain, ever since then, has managed to break the record.

But the marquee event brings in all the twists and turns, and one can expect the unexpected. Rohit Sharma has been in fine touch, and his match-winning knock against Australia in the rain-curtailed second T20I of the recently concluded T20I series is proof of the same.

Alongside being a captain, Sharma also opens the lineup for India which is an added advantage for the skipper to break Gayle’s record. If Sharma manages to hold his place strongly in the game and rack up the crucial runs for India, he may as well go on to set a new record.

<li> Most Runs in T20 World Cup</li>

Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene, who is also associated with the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians, tops the charts as he holds the record for having scored the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/most-runs-in-icc-mens-t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most runs at the T20 World Cup</a>. In the five editions of the tournament that Jayawardene has played, he has scored 1016 runs.

Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, is fourth on the list with 847 runs under his belt, as Jayawardene is followed by Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan who have 965 and 897 runs respectively. Thus, the Indian skipper is just 169 runs away from becoming the leading run-scorer of the T20 World Cup.

Giving tough competition to Rohit Sharma in this particular race is former India skipper Virat Kohli, who has just two runs less than Sharma as Kohli’s total runs at T20 World Cup are 845. But yet again, Rohit Sharma has a high chance of breaking the record given the fact that he’s the opening batter.

<li> Most matches played in T20 World Cups</li>

Rohit Sharma is all set to break the record for playing the most number of matches in T20 World Cups. The Indian skipper, who has so far played 33 matches at the marquee event, since the 2007 World Cup where he made his debut, has no one to compete with in this particular scenario.

The other cricketers, ahead of Sharma in this list, are Tillakaratne Dilshan (35), Dwayne Bravo (34), Shahid Afridi (34), Shoaib Malik (34), MS Dhoni (33), <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-hope-the-team-plays-well-chris-gayle-predicts-finalists-of-t20-world-cup-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Gayle</a> (33), and Mushfiqur Rahim (33). Notably, Malik and Gayle are not a part of the upcoming edition of the World Cup, and others have retired.

Thus, Rohit Sharma needs to play just two games to equal Dilshan’s record, and he will break the record in his third game of the T20 World Cup 2022. If Sharma plays all the games without any injury concerns, then he will set a new record during India’s fixture against South Africa on October 30 and will become the player to have played the most matches at T20 World Cup.

<li> Highest individual score</li>

The record for the highest individual score at the T20 World Cup is held by former New Zealand cricketer and current England red-ball coach Brendon McCullum. The former Black Caps player notched up a massive 123(58) in the 2012 World Cup against Bangladesh and created the record.

Rohit Sharma’s personal best at the T20 World Cup came against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/amazon-prime-video-announce-second-season-of-australian-mens-team-docuseries-the-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a> in the year 2010, when he notched up an unbeaten 65-ball 79 during India’s chase. Sharma, being one of the most experienced players at the tournament, will look to seize every opportunity in front of him.

Though it is a difficult feat to achieve, it is not impossible. Given Rohit Sharma’s abilities, the batting maestro can break McCullum’s record. India will play five games in the group stage of the T20 World Cup and if they manage to end up in the top two of their group, they’ll move into the semi-finals.

<li> Most sixes for India in T20 World Cups</li>

This is one record that Rohit Sharma will be sure of breaking at the forthcoming edition of the 20-over World Cup. Throughout the tournament, Rohit Sharma needs to hit a minimum of three sixes to become the player to have hit the most sixes in T20 World Cups for India.

In the previous six editions, Sharma has hit 31 sixes and is behind former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh who holds the record with 33 sixes under his name. Of the 33, Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes that came off Stuart Broad’s over in the inaugural <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/icc-mens-t20-world-cup-2022-where-to-watch-schedule-squads-and-all-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup</a> are still remembered by everyone.

This is one record that Rohit Sharma can possibly achieve in the very first game of the T20 World Cup 2022, which is on October 23 against Pakistan. Sharma’s approach towards the game has changed, and he would look to rectify the mistakes from the previous games against Pakistan, especially the previous World Cup.
