This is now the quickest in terms of number of balls taken by any of the 43 bowlers who have the distinction of claiming 200 or more wickets in ODI cricket. Australian left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc previously held the record. However, Starc is still the fastest to 200 ODI wickets in fewest games (102), while Pakistan offie Saqlain Mushtaq has done it in fewer innings (101).

Since then, India has lost the toss in its last 15 ODIs, starting from the CWC final against Australia in Ahmedabad on 19 Nov 2023, including the recent CT final match against New Zealand in Dubai on 9 March 2025.
