England and West Indies are the only two teams in T20 World Cup history to win the title twice. This was the first time that the ICC organized a 20-team World Cup and several of the smaller nations showed that they can pack a punch. This World Cup was a lot of firsts in many ways. This was the first time that co-hosts USA played in the T20 World Cup and managed to beat Pakistan and Canada to qualify for the Super 8 stages of the tournament. This was also the first time that South Africa qualified for the final of any World Cup, and the first time that any team (i.e., India) won the T20 World Cup undefeated.
Jasprit Bumrah finished the tournament with 15 wickets, including two for 18 in the final match and was declared the player of the Tournament. Defending a target of 177 runs, Hardik Pandya took three wickets as India restricted the Proteas to 169/8 in 20 overs. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh returned with figures of 2/18 and 2/20. Virat Kohli was at his best form on June 29, 2024, as India ended their ICC trophy drought, defeating South Africa in the T20 World Cup final in Bridgetown. Having been in poor form throughout the tournament, he silenced his critics with a knock of 76 runs off 59 balls as India posted 176/7 in 20 overs.Virat Kohli retirement from T20 International cricket after India beat South Africa in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup in Barbados.

Most Runs
This T20 World Cup was a low-scoring affair as the bowlers dominated the tricky low and slow pitches of both USA and in the Caribbean islands. Afghanistan's Rahmanullah Gurbaz turned out to be the top scorer in the tournament followed by Rohit Sharma and Travis Head. Gurbaz had dominated the group stages of this tournament, while Rohit lit up in the Super 8 and the semi-final. Each of these three knocks were memorable in their own right but perhaps it was the knock from USA vice-captain Aarron Jones that stole the show.
Playing the inaugural match of the T20 World Cup 2024, Jones smashed 94 runs to help USA earn their maiden win in T20 World Cup, which set the tone for the rest of their campaign. Rohit Sharma failed to finish the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 after he score only nine runs in the South Africa vs India final on June 29, 2024. Rohit Sharma finished as the second highest run-getter, with 257 runs in eight matches.

In eight innings, Kohli has scored to cross the 151 runs in eight innings. His best score in the T20 World Cup 2024 is 76 runs, which came in the India vs South Africa final on June 29, 2024. However, Kohli's record before the T20 World Cup 2024 speaks for itself. Despite a lacklustre outing in the US and Caribbean, Kohli is the highest run-getter in T20 World Cup history. Rahit,who played two scintillating innings leading into the, is just five runs away from his compatriot.

Most Wickets
The tricky New York pitch and then the spin-assisting pitches of the Caribbean meant that bowler had a gala time in the tournament. Afghani- stan's Fazalhaq Farooqi dominated the bowling charts, just like his compatriot Gurbaz, who led the batting charts in this tournament. Arshdeep Singh also became the joint highest wicket-taker in the tournament, yet another left-armer, who had the ability to swing the ball into the right hander. Arshdeep provided able support for Bumrah in the Indian team and took responsibility for taking the new ball.

The Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah might not have been the highest wicket-taker in T20 World Cup 2024, but he certainly was the most impactful bowler of the tournament. Bumrah broke open multiple games with his bowling and was one of the main reasons behind India winning the title in 2024.
