In a breathtaking display of batting prowess, India shattered the second-highest total in men’s T20I history against Bangladesh in the third and final match of the series. Opting to bat first, the Indian batting lineup unleashed a bombardment of sixes and fours, leaving the Bangladeshi bowlers stunned.
The standout performer of the innings was Sanju Samson, who blazed away to a remarkable 40-ball century. His innings, laced with eight sixes and 11 fours, was the second-fastest by an Indian in T20Is, showcasing his exceptional power-hitting abilities.
Samson’s century was complemented by a host of other Indian batters who contributed significantly to the massive total. Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian captain, chipped in with a well-paced 75 off 35 balls, while Riyan Parag and Hardik Pandya provided explosive cameos with 34 and 47 runs respectively.
India’s innings was a masterclass in modern-day T20 batting. The team’s aggressive approach and ability to find the gaps in the field were on full display. The Indian batters hit a total of 47 boundaries, including 22 sixes, which is the most by any team in a T20I match.
With this innings, India surpassed Afghanistan’s previous record of 278/3 for the highest T20I total by a Test-playing nation. Although they fell short of the overall highest T20I total of 314/3 set by Nepal against Mongolia, India’s performance was nothing short of exceptional.
The Indian team’s ability to consistently score 200+ totals in T20I cricket is a testament to their batting depth and quality. This innings further solidifies India’s position as one of the strongest T20I teams in the world.
