Varun,  Yes - Trigger.new contains the records that caused the trigger to fire.  For example:

<pre>
// Trigger.new will contain one record
insert new Case();

// Trigger.new will contain three records
insert new List<Case>{ new Case(), new Case(), new Case() };
</pre>

Trigger.new : Returns a list of the new versions of the sObject records. Note that this sObject list is only available in insert and update triggers, and the records can only be modified in before triggers.
 
Trigger.old : Returns a list of the old versions of the sObject records. Note that this sObject list is only available in update and delete triggers.
