As far as the third T20I on Wednesday is concerned, several records were broken during the same and we decided to handpick five records that were broken during the contest.

The Hardik Pandya-led Indian team put on 234 runs on the board after electing to bat first on the day and chasing a mammoth target, the New Zealanders were bundled out for just 66 runs, thereby registering the lowest-ever total against India.
For the unversed, Ireland held the record previously with 70 runs in a T20I match played in Dublin in 2018. It was captain Pandya who led the team from the front during the chase from Black Caps with his four-for, with Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik and Shivam Mavi picking up a two-for each.
