T20 world cup Batting Records

Up till now most of the batting records in T20 world cup are the property of Sri  Lankan and Indian players. But the fact is that only two T20 world cups are played till now, one in 2007 and the other one in 2009. Probably this is the reason why we are seeing the non-uniform distribution of records. After a decade or so it would be more appropriate to see through the T20 world cup records. Here are the few T20 world cup records :-
