Aussies have now won four T20 World Cups under Lanning's captaincy (2014, 2018, 2020, and 2023) along with the 2023 ODI World Cup.

By leading Australia to 5 ICC World Cup wins, Lanning beat legends Ricky Ponting (4) and MS Dhoni (3) to become the most decorated captain in history of ICC events.

Also, for the first time, a men's or women's team has scored a title hat-trick for the second time in an ICC tournament.
