IND vs SA: The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 started with 20 teams, and it can come down to the two finalists. India and South Africa have made it to the final showdown, and this is the first time that two undefeated teams in the tournament are facing each other in the final. The IND vs SA final will take place at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, at 8 p.m. as per IST.
All eyes in the cricket world will be on this match because these two have been superb so far. India have played in a number of ICC finals in the last decade or so but haven’t won a title. On the other hand, South Africa have never been in an ICC final, and they will look to make it memorable. There are some approaching milestones in this clash that can be achieved. Here we will talk about three major records that can be broken in the IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Final.
3 Approaching Milestones in the upcoming IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Final
1. Most Runs by a Captain in T20 World Cup edition
Rohit Sharma has been India’s best batter in this tournament. He has led the team from the front and made sure that they were in a good position. Rohit is India’s highest scorer in the T20 World Cup 2024. He has scored 248 runs in seven innings at an average of 4133 and a strike rate of 155.97, with three half-centuries. He has a few records set in front of his eyes. If Rohit can score 56 runs, then, he can break Babar Azam’s record for the most runs in a single T20 World Cup edition for a captain. Babar scored 303 runs in the 2021 edition as captain.
2. Most Runs in a Single T20 World Cup edition
Not just as captain, Rohit has another historic feat on his mind. The India captain has been in prime form and is coming off two consecutive half-centuries in the last two matches. If he can play yet another good knock, India will be on the driving seat in the IND vs SA final. However, if Rohit Sharma can score 72 runs in this innings, which looks possible, and if he can stay for 10 overs, then he will break Virat Kohli’s 10-year-old record for most runs in a single T20 World Cup edition. Virat finished the 2014 edition with 319 runs, while Rohit has 248 runs so far.
3. Most Wickets in a Single T20 World Cup edition
Not just the batters, the Indian bowlers have also done a pretty good job in this tournament. Arshdeep Singh, who was wicketless in the semifinal against England, has been in good form. He is the leading wicket-taker for India in the tournament. Arshdeep has taken 15 wickets in 7 games, which is the most by an Indian in a single t20 World Cup edition. But if he can take three wickets more, he will break Fazalhaq Farooqi’s record for most wickets (17) in a single edition.
