The Men in Blue struck 255 runs against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to register the highest total ever recorded in a T20 World Cup Final match.

Abhishek Sharma had been faltering the entire tournament, but he came good in the ultimate showdown, smashing a half-century. While the southpaw remained at the crease, he registered a 98-run opening wicket stand with Sanju Samson, who went on to score 89 runs.

Speaking of Abhishek Sharma's half century, it was not only crucial for India, but also the fastest in this year's tournament. He had reached the mark in just 18 balls.

The Men in Blue play aggressive cricket, and big hits are a big part of their game. They collectively hit 18 sixes in the final, but overall, crossed 100 sixes in this edition of the tournament.

The Indian batsmen smashed 250+ scores against England and then New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final and final, respectively, to become the first team to do so in T20 International matches.

India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, also sealed a record to his name with his team's triumph. Back in 2007, he had won the T20 World Cup as a player, being the highest scorer in the final, and has now won the title as coach, being the first-ever to do so.
