8 Consecutive series without a defeat for England in the T20I format before the series against India. England's last T20I series defeat also came against India in 2018 at home. India, with the 3-2 series win, extended their unbeaten streak of T20I series to eight.

224 for 2 India's total in the series-decider, their highest in the T20I format against England. Their previous highest T20I total against England was 218 for 4 during the 2007 WT20 game in Durban.

7 Man of the series awards for Virat Kohli in T20I cricket. No other player has won even five such awards in the format. Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez stand second on the list with four series awards apiece.

1 Player with more runs in men's T20Is than Rohit Sharma. The Indian opener, with 2864 runs, went past Martin Guptill (2839) during the fifth T20I. Rohit also has the second most number of fours (252) and the second number of most sixes (133) hit by any player in this format.

0 Captains with more runs or fifties in T20I cricket than Virat. The Indian skipper overhauled Aaron Finch's 1462 T20I runs as captain, also surpassed Kane Williamson's tally of 11 fifties during the fifth T20I.

24 Innings Dawid Malan needed to complete 1000 runs in Twenty20 Internationals, the fastest player to reach this milestone, bettering Babar Azam (26 innings).

130 Partnership runs between Malan and Jos Buttler, the second-biggest stand for any wicket in an unsuccessful T20I chase. It is also England's highest partnership for any wicket in a defeat in this format.

231 Runs aggregated by Kohli in this series, the most by any player in a five-match T20I series. It is also the second-most runs in a bilateral T20I series. Chris Jordan, on the other hand, conceded 198 runs in this series, the most by any player in a bilateral T20I series. The England pacer broke the record held by Tim Southee with 187 runs in the home series against India last year.
