ICC World T20 2016: 10 records that were broken at the World T20

Before the start of the 2016 ICC World T20, there were a lot of expectations of it becoming the biggest ever edition of the tournament with winners of the first edition, India hosting it. By the end of the tournament, fans will have witnessed some of the most thrilling matches in the T20 format with many records being set and broken.

West Indies, who were not everyone's favourites at the start of the tournament, ended up as the winners of the 2016 edition as they defeated England in the most dramatic fashion in Sunday's final in front of a packed Eden Gardens.

We take a look at ten of the best records that were broken at the 2016 ICC World T20:

#10 – Most number of World T20 matches

Since the start of the ICC World T20 in 2007, there have been just a few players who have featured in all the editions. Indian captain, MS Dhoni is the Indian with the highest number of appearances in the World T20 with 33 matches under his belt. However, with just two games more, Sri Lankan veteran opener, Tillakaratne Dilshan is the one who has the record for the most number of appearances in World T20 history.

Dilshan has played 35 World T20 matches and scored 897 runs at an average of 30.93. After a disappointing showing by the 2014 champions, this could have been the last World T20 we watched the 39-year-old Dilshan play. Pakistan's Shahid Afridi is second in the list with 34 matches with Dhoni third on the list.
