A Twenty20 International (T20I ) is a form of
cricket , played between two of the international members of the
International Cricket Council (ICC), in which each team faces a maximum of twenty
overs . The matches have top-class status and are the highest T20 standard. The game is played under the rules of
Twenty20 cricket.
[1]
[2] The first Twenty20 International match between two men's sides was played on 17 February 2005, involving
Australia and
New Zealand .
Wisden Cricketers' Almanack reported that "neither side took the game especially seriously",
[3] and it was noted by
ESPNcricinfo that but for a large score for
Ricky Ponting , "the concept would have shuddered".
[4] However, Ponting himself said "if it does become an international game then I'm sure the novelty won't be there all the time".
[5]
This is a list of
India Cricket team 's
Twenty20 International records. It is based on the
List of Twenty20 International records , but concentrates solely on records dealing with the Indian cricket team. India played its first Twenty20 game against South Africa in December 2006, and these records date from that game.

Result records
A T20I match is
won when one side has scored more
runs than the runs scored by the opposing side during their
innings . If both sides have completed both their allocated innings and the side that fielded last has the higher aggregate of runs, it is known as a win by runs. This indicates the number of runs that they had scored more than the opposing side. If the side batting last wins the match, it is known as a win by

Hat-trick
In
cricket , a hat-trick occurs when a bowler
takes three wickets with consecutive
deliveries . The deliveries may be interrupted by an
over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the
pitch or the other team's
innings , but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only
wickets attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick; run outs do not count.
[126]
Wicket-keeping records
The
wicket-keeper is a specialist
fielder who stands behind the
stumps being guarded by the batsman on
strike and is the only member of the fielding side allowed to wear gloves and leg pads.
[128]
Most career dismissals
A wicket-keeper can be credited with the dismissal of a batsman in two ways,
caught or
stumped . A fair catch is taken when the
ball is caught fully within the field of play without it bouncing after the ball has touched the striker's
bat or glove holding the bat,
[129]
[130] Laws 5.6.2.2 and 5.6.2.3 state that the hand or the glove holding the bat shall be regarded as the ball striking or touching the bat while a stumping occurs when the wicket-keeper puts down the wicket while the batsman is out of his
ground and not attempting a run.

Caught is one of the nine methods a batsman can be
dismissed in cricket.
[a] The majority of catches are caught in the
slips , located behind the batsman, next to the wicket-keeper, on the

Partnership records
In cricket, two batsmen are always present at the
crease batting together in a partnership. This partnership will continue until one of them is
dismissed ,
retires or the innings comes to a close.
Highest partnerships by wicket
A wicket partnership describes the number of runs scored before each wicket falls. The first wicket partnership is between the opening batsmen and continues until the first wicket falls. The second wicket partnership then commences between the
not out batsman and the number three batsman. This partnership continues until the second wicket falls. The third wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the new batsman. This continues down to the tenth wicket partnership. When the tenth wicket has fallen, there is no batsman left to partner so the innings is closed.
