Team India is one of the biggest contenders to win the T20 World Cup. This time the good thing is that many coincidences that happened in the tournament are also pointing towards it becoming the champion. One such coincidence is also related to the rain of sixes. Team India has rained sixes, that too in a single match.

This rain from the bats of the Indian batsmen was such that a 17-year-old record was broken. That means Indian players have done what has never happened in the T20 World Cup. And, by doing this, India has also raised the hope of winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title.

Now the question is when did Team India hit this rain of sixes? So they did this in the match against Bangladesh. This became the match in which Team India hit the most sixes in T20 cricket. Meaning, for the first time they have hit so many sixes in a match. By doing this, Team India broke its record of most sixes hit in a match in the 2007 T20 World Cup.

17 year old record broken, India's hopes of becoming champion increased

Team India hit 11 sixes in the match played against England in Durban in the 2007 T20 World Cup. This was the largest number of sixes hit by them in a T20 World Cup match so far. But, 17 years later, in the T20 World Cup 2024, Team India has now broken that record. It has hit 13 sixes in a match against Bangladesh. The big thing is that in 2007, when Team India made the record of most sixes in a match, it captured the trophy. So will Team India be able to repeat history this time after correcting that record?
