The eyes of the cricket world are fixed on February 15, when the much-awaited match between India and Pakistan will be played in the ICC T20 World Cup. This high-voltage match is not just a clash between two traditional rivals, but can also prove to be very important in terms of records.
Sports News: Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for 15th February, when the high-voltage match will be played between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026. While many records are likely to be broken in this much-awaited match, some new records can also be created. Especially Team India’s young batsman Tilak Verma will have a chance to make a big record in his name.
Tilak Verma can become the batsman to hit the most sixes for India against Pakistan in T20 format. In this matter, he can leave behind veteran batsman Virat Kohli. It is noteworthy that both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 International cricket. In such a situation, there will be a big responsibility on the young players and all eyes will be on the performance of Tilak Verma.
Virat Kohli’s record in danger
Currently, Virat Kohli holds the record of hitting most sixes for India in T20 International against Pakistan. Kohli has hit 11 sixes in 11 matches. After him, Yuvraj Singh is in second place, who hit 9 sixes in 8 matches. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma have 7 sixes each in their names in T20 against Pakistan. Since Rohit and Kohli have retired from T20 International, this record is now the target of the new generation batsmen.
If Tilak Verma is successful in hitting five sixes in the upcoming match, he can directly overtake Kohli and reach the top position. Abhishek Sharma also has the same opportunity, provided he plays in the match and plays big innings.
Tilak Verma’s aggressive batting
Tilak Verma has established himself as a reliable and aggressive batsman in limited overs cricket over the last few years. Especially in the T20 format, his strike rate and ability to play big shots give him a distinct identity. It is not easy to hit sixes against a strong bowling lineup like Pakistan, but Tilak has proved his ability on the big stage before.
He played an important role in India winning the title by playing a brilliant innings against Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup final. His ability to withstand pressure in big matches and play match-winning innings makes him special in this match. Tilak Verma has played two matches so far in the T20 World Cup 2026 and has scored 25-25 runs in both. Although he got a good start, he could not convert it into a big innings. The match against Pakistan will be a golden opportunity for them to convert their form into big scores.
India-Pakistan contest is always full of extra pressure and thrill. In such a situation, if Tilak Verma plays a big innings and hits sixes, then he can not only make a record in his name but can also lead the team to an important victory.
