300 The second T20I against New Zealand at Christchurch was India's 300th match in this format. They are the second team after Pakistan (304) to play 300 T20Is. Pakistan crossed the mark earlier this month at the Asian Games. India also became the first team to register 200 outright T20I wins. They also have five Super-Over wins and one bowl-out win. India won their 50th, 100th, 150th and 250th T20Is, in addition to their 300th T20I, but lost their 200th.
111 The most runs India have successfully chased since the fall of the fifth wicket in T20Is. Those are also the fourth-highest target any team has successfully chased after losing five wickets in a T20I. India's previous highest was 88 runs against England in Chennai in 2025, with Tilak Varma named Player of the Match even then. These are also the second-most runs India have scored in a T20I after losing their fifth wicket, following the 133 against Sri Lanka in Pune in 2023.
68 The most India have successfully chased in the last five overs of a T20I. Their previous highest was 60 runs against Pakistan at MCG in the 2022 T20 World Cup. Nine instances have seen teams chase down more in the last five overs of a T20I, but all had five or more wickets in hand, unlike India on Saturday.

69* The partnership between Tilak and Nitish Kumar Reddy, India's highest for the seventh wicket or lower in T20Is. The previous highest was an unconquered 63 between Dinesh Karthik and Krunal Pandya for the seventh wicket, also against New Zealand in Hamilton in 2019.
5.21 India's win % according to Cricinfo's Forecaster at the end of the 11th over, when they needed 110 runs with five wickets in hand. They have chased down more in the last nine overs of a T20I only once, 112 against West Indies in Hyderabad in 2019.
62 The collective contribution of India's top five, the second-fewest in a successful chase of a 180-plus target in T20Is. Luxembourg chased down 188 against France in 2023, despite their top five scoring only 61. India's batters at No. 6 and lower contributed 108 runs, the the fourth-most for any T20I chase.
26 T20 chases where Tilak remained unbeaten, with his team winning each of those matches. These are the most unbeaten knocks in men's T20 chases, with a 100% win record; Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill are next with 22 each. Only James Vince has remained not out more often than Tilak, with an undefeated record in 31 chases, though one was in a washout.
1 Tilak's 51 not out is the first fifty by an Indian batting at No. 6 or lower in a successful T20I chase. Washington Sundar's 49* against Australia at Hobart last year was the previous highest. Tilak now has four fifties while batting at No. 5 or lower in twelve T20I chases. All other India batters combined have made four fifties in T20I chases while batting outside of the top four.
