  • India became the second team globally, after Australia, to successfully chase 200-plus targets six times in T20Is.
  • Captain Suryakumar Yadav (82* off 37) and Ishan Kishan (76 off 32) led India to chase 209 runs in 15.2 overs against New Zealand in Raipur.
  • This 209-run chase is India's joint-highest successful run chase in T20Is, matching a previous chase against Australia in Visakhapatnam.
  • India set a new record for a full-member nation by chasing a 200-plus target with more than 25 balls to spare, surpassing Pakistan's record.
