The Twenty20 World Cup ended in a thrilling four-week event in India and Sri Lanka, with a record 780 sixes hit, a 50.87% increase from the 2024 edition. The 200-mark was breached a record 14 times and India alone posted three of the four 250-plus totals in the tournament. The tournament's batting strike rate was the highest in tournament history, indicating a shift in the future direction of white-ball batting. Despite criticism from former England captain Michael Vaughan, New Zealand coach Rob Walter agreed that fans were enthralled by the spectacle. The India-England semi-final in Mumbai saw a peak concurrency of 65.2 million viewers, the highest for any live event worldwide.
