Cricket is religious faith in India, and Indian cricket players are loved by their adoring fans wherever they go throughout the world.

Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, and the present crop of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are just a few of the legends. These cricket players have set several global records, and discussed below are a few of India's best.

Let's have a look at some of the India t20 record that the players have set.

1. The Most Sixes to End a Game

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a cricket player who is recognised for his big-hitting skills and, more significantly, his ability to close off games. When he mixes two of these characteristics, he makes his one-of-a-kind album. Dhoni owns the milestone for the most matches finished with sixes, having done it nine times throughout his playing career with India.

Sachin Tendulkar's accomplishment is something that Indians are particularly proud of. With 100 hundred throughout all categories, the renowned Indian batsman retains the world record for maximum centuries.
