Records are meant to be broken be it individual or collective or even in any major tournament for that matter. Over the years many World Cup records have been made and shattered courtesy of some outstanding performances on the cricket field. Meanwhile, many records have been made in the ICC T20 World Cup ever since its inception in 2007.

Be it <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/he-made-those-runs-before-i-beat-him-up-yuvraj-singh-congratulates-shubhman-gill-in-his-trademark-style/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yuvraj Singh&#8217;s</a></strong> six sixes in an over off Stuart Broad or Chris Gayle becoming the very first centurion in the history of this competition, the showpiece event in T20 cricket has witnessed many milestone moments in the past till the last edition in 2021 in the UAE. There will be one more T20 World Cup that will be played this year down under in October-November and without further ado, here&#8217;s a look at the five records that can be shattered in the eighth edition of the T20 World Cup.

5 Records that can be broken in T20 World Cup 2022:

1. Rohit Sharma&#8217;s chance to surpass Yuvraj Singh&#8217;s tally of most sixes

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-669180" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-669180" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

<strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/wi-vs-ind-rohit-sharma-and-co-indulge-in-a-victory-lap-as-indian-skipper-drives-golf-cart-in-stadium/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> </strong>made his first appearance in T20 World Cup during the inaugural edition in South Africa in 2007 where India beat arch-rivals Pakistan in a final-over thriller to be crowned world champions. The 2022 edition will be special for him as he will be leading the Men in Blue from the front down under.

Meanwhile, Rohit also has an opportunity of making a tremendous impact in the tournament this time around. The &#8216;Hitman&#8217; needs just 3 sixes to surpass his former India teammate and good friend Yuvraj Singh&#8217;s tally of 33 to become the Indian batter with the most maximums in the T20 World Cups.

At the same time, even Virat Kohli has a chance of going past this tally. The batting megastar has 20 sixes to his name in the showpiece event and should he regain his purple patch back in Australia then it might be possible for him to either shatter this record or come close.

2. Breaking Mahela Jayawardene&#8217;s record as leading run-scorer in T20 World Cups

<strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/it-was-a-nightmare-to-face-him-mahela-jayawardene-names-wasim-akram-as-the-best-pacer-he-ever-faced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mahela Jayawardene</a> </strong>is currently the leading run-scorer in T20 World Cup history with 1016 runs to his name from 31 matches played between 2007 to 2014 editions including a century and six half-centuries averaging over 39 and a phenomenal strike rate of over 134. He was an integral member of the Sri Lankan squad that made the finals in the 2009 and 2012 editions and emerged triumphant in 2014.

Jayawardene might have retired after 2014 T20 World Cup, but his record remains intact to date. However, there is a golden opportunity for many world-class modern-day batters across the globe to shatter this record in the 2022 edition of the T20 World Cup.

These include the likes of Chris Gayle (965), Rohit Sharma (847), Virat Kohli (845), and last edition&#8217;s Player of the Tournament David Warner (762). If either of the above batters has a dream run down under, then the long-standing record in T20 World Cup history will find a new name.

3. Lasith Malinga&#8217;s record as leading wicket-taker as a pacer in T20 World Cup in jeopardy

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-409212" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Lasith-Malinga-1.jpg" alt="Lasith Malinga" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-409212" class="wp-caption-text">Lasith Malinga. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

The Sri Lankan dominance has made a mark as far as individual performances are concerned in T20 World Cups. Former pace spearhead <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-have-really-been-enjoying-riyan-parags-fielding-in-last-15-matches-lasith-malinga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lasith Malinga</a></strong> is the leading wicket-taker in the history of this competition as a pacer with 38 scalps to his name from 31 matches played from 2007 to 2014 at an economy of 7.43.

Star Australian speedster Mitchell Starc has a good chance of going past Malinga&#8217;s tally. Starc (24) only needs 15 more scalps to his tally in order to get the job done. Senior New Zealand pacer Tim Southee is behind the Aussie with 22 wickets.

Mitchell Starc finished as the leading wicket-taker of the 2015 and 2019 editions of the ODI World Cup and another good outing in the upcoming edition of the World T20 in his own backyard can be a perfect chance for him to rewrite history.

4. Tilakaratne Dilshan&#8217;s maximum appearances in T20 World Cups can be overhauled

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-416727" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Tillakaratne-Dilshan.jpg" alt="Tillakaratne Dilshan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-416727" class="wp-caption-text">Tillakaratne Dilshan. (Photo by Mark Kolbe/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Tilakaratne Dilshan who was a key member of Sri Lanka&#8217;s historic triumph in the 2014 edition in Bangladesh is currently the only player to make the most appearances in T20 World Cups having played 35 matches between 2007 and 2016. While he might be holding the record, for now, it will be overhauled in the upcoming edition down under.

The contenders to surpass Dilshan&#8217;s feat include the likes of Shoaib Malik (34) who needs only two more matches. Nonetheless, it will only be possible for the Pakistani all-rounder to break this record provided he is selected in the Pakistan squad for the marquee event.

Others in contention are India captain Rohit Sharma, West Indies power-hitter <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/chris-gayle-set-to-be-part-of-legends-league-cricket-season-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Gayle</a></strong>, and veteran Bangladesh batter Mushfiqur Rahim who have all played 33 games each in this competition.

5. Mahela Jayawardene&#8217;s record of most fours

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-411073" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mahela-Jayawardene.jpg" alt="Mahela Jayawardene" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-411073" class="wp-caption-text">Mahela Jayawardene. (Photo by Manoj Patil/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Apart from being the all-time leading run-scorer in T20 World Cup history, Sri Lankan batting icon Mahela Jayawardene boasts of having one more achievement in this format and that happens to be having smashed the most number of fours in this competition.

In the 31 matches that he played between the 2007 and 2014 World Cups, Jayawardene has hit 111 fours and is still comfortably sitting on the top of the list as the record has remained unbroken in the last seven years.

Nonetheless, it might change this time around down under as there are some strong contenders who can shatter this record and make a name for themselves on the elite list. These include Rohit Sharma (80), David Warner (80), Chris Gayle (78), and <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-should-have-played-at-least-the-odis-or-t20is-against-the-west-indies-aakash-chopra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a></strong> (78).
