16 The number of innings Yashasvi Jaiswal needed to aggregate 500 runs of his T20I career during his brief innings of four runs in the final match of the series against Afghanistan in Bengaluru on 17 January 2024. Among Indian players, only K. L. Rahul needed fewer innings to reach his 500th run in this format.

5 The number of occasions Team India has been involved in a tied T20I match. On four of these occasions, the Indian side has been successful in the tie-breaker event that usually follows the tied game. However, the Super Over against New Zealand in Napier did not occur on 22 November 2022 because of rain. The Bengaluru T20I match was the first in international cricket, which saw two Super Overs after the first tie-break also ended in a tie.
