# India's magnificent win by ten wickets is their largest in terms of wickets in T20Is, obliterating the two victories by nine-wicket margins - one each vs Sri Lanka at Visakhapatnam on February 14, 2016 and vs UAE at Dhaka on March 3, 2016. All three have been recorded by India this year.

# Overall, thirteen ten-wicket victories have been registered in T20Is. The only team to suffer three such defeats is Zimbabwe.

# The only Indian to produce better bowling performance than Sran in T20Is is Ravichandran Ashwin (4/8) vs Sri Lanka at Visakhapatnam on February 14, 2016.

# Sran, by dismissing Hamilton Masakadza, Sikandar Raza and Tinotenda Mutombodzi, has become the second Indian bowler after Ashok Dinda (Chandimal, Eranga and Malinga) vs Sri Lanka at Pallekele on August 7, 2012, to take three wickets in an over in T20Is.

# Two debutants have opened Indian bowling in a T20I for the second time. Jaydev Unadkat and Rishi Dhawan on June 18, 2016 and Barinder Sran and Dhawal Kulkarni on June 20, 2016 - both vs Zimbabwe at Harare. This excludes the inaugural Twenty20 International match played by India.

# The unbroken partnership of 103 for the first wicket between Rahul and Mandeep is the highest partnership for any wicket as well as the first century stand for India vs Zimbabwe in T20Is.

# The above stand is India's second century stand for the first wicket in T20Is next only to the 136 between Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir vs England at Durban on September 19, 2007.
