Several players make and break records, and Virat Kohli, India's one of the best all-format players, is one of them. He had set many records in the T20 World Cups that have finally been broken. Interestingly, a record set by one person is broken by many, which is remarkable. This speaks volumes about the kind of player Kohli was. 

He retired from T20I cricket along with Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja after the T20 World Cup 2024. India won the tournament back then, and this time, they defended their title. Many players have performed brilliantly over the past few years, but none could match Kohli. 

In the T20 World Cup 2026, many records were broken by Brian Bennett, Sahibzada Farhan, and others. Given below is the list of records broken by the players in the ICC event. India's star players Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, and Suryakumar Yadav have also broken several records in this tournament.
