ICC T20 World Cup 2022: Here are the records that could get broken

The world is into the Twenty20 (T20) fever, as the ICC T20 World Cup is underway in Australia. The hosts are the defending champion for the first time, as they would be desperate to retain the title, becoming the first to successfully defend it, besides being the first host nation to win it. Meanwhile, over the years, the tournament has produced record-breaking moments in every single edition, which would be no different this time. In the same light, we look at the records that look pretty set to be broken, with new records likely to be scripted and new record holders conceivably to emerge.
