A Twenty20 International (T20I ) is a form of cricket , played between two of the international members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), in which each team faces a maximum of twenty overs . The matches have top-class status and are the highest T20 standard. The game is played under the rules of Twenty20 cricket.[ 1] [ 2] The first Twenty20 International match between two men's sides was played on 17 February 2005, involving Australia and New Zealand . Wisden Cricketers' Almanack reported that "neither side took the game especially seriously",[ 3] and it was noted by ESPNcricinfo that but for a large score for Ricky Ponting , "the concept would have shuddered".[ 4] However, Ponting himself said "if it does become an international game then I'm sure the novelty won't be there all the time".[ 5] This is a list of India Cricket team 's Twenty20 International records. It is based on the List of Twenty20 International records , but concentrates solely on records dealing with the Indian cricket team. India played its first Twenty20 game against South Africa in December 2006, and these records date from that game.
The top five records are listed for each category, except for the team wins, losses, draws and ties , all round records and the partnership records . Tied records for fifth place are also included. Explanations of the general symbols and cricketing terms used in the list are given below. Specific details are provided in each category where appropriate.

A T20I match is won when one side has scored more runs than the runs scored by the opposing side during their innings . If both sides have completed both their allocated innings and the side that fielded last has the higher aggregate of runs, it is known as a win by runs. This indicates the number of runs that they had scored more than the opposing side. If the side batting last wins the match, it is known as a win by wickets , indicating the number of wickets that were still to fall.[ 18]

The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings , but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick; run outs do not count.[ 129]

Partnership records [ edit ] In cricket, two batsmen are always present at the crease batting together in a partnership. This partnership will continue until one of them is dismissed , retires or the innings comes to a close.
Highest partnerships by wicket [ edit ] A wicket partnership describes the number of runs scored before each wicket falls. The first wicket partnership is between the opening batsmen and continues until the first wicket falls. The second wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the number three batsman. This partnership continues until the second wicket falls. The third wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the new batsman. This continues down to the tenth wicket partnership. When the tenth wicket has fallen, there is no batsman left to partner so the innings is closed.
