India may have to catch an early flight back home after their agonising 8-wicket loss against New Zealand, their second straight defeat in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 at the Dubai International Cricket Ground on Sunday.


On the contrary, India’s north-western neighbours Afghanistan are turning on the heat in the current edition of the World Cup with stellar performances galore. They overcame the relatively weaker but in-form side Namibia by 62 runs in the first game played on Sunday.


Here is a look at the major records set/broken on October 31 in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021:

5 - This is also the fifth-lowest total of India in T20Is while batting first. The lowest total India made while batting first in T20Is is 74 against Australia at Melbourne in 2008.

2 - This is the first time India lost the first two matches of a T20 World Cup.


1 - Rohit Sharma’s six off Adam Milne was his 83rd six while batting first in T20Is, which is the most for any player in the world. He surpassed Kiwi opener Martin Guptill who clubbed 82 sixes in T20Is while batting first.


1 - This is the first time Ravindra Jadeja has top-scored for India in a T20I innings.


1 - This the first time Rohit Sharma batted at one down in a T20 World Cup match. He has now batted at all the top 7 positions in T20 World Cup tournaments.

2000 - Mohammad Shahzad completed 2000 runs in T20I cricket during his knock of 45 runs against Namibia.


1 - Mohammad Shahzad became the first Afghanistan player to score 2000 runs in T20I cricket.
