New Delhi: Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav combined to take the Bangladesh bowling attack to the cleaners as India recorded their highest-ever Powerplay score and their fastest team 100 in T20Is in the 3rd T20I between the two sides in Hyderabad on Saturday. Samson slammed a blistering knock of 111 runs off just 47 balls while skipper Suryakumar scored a quickfire 75 off 35 balls.
After losing his opening partner Abhishek Sharma cheaply on 4, Samson combined with Suryakumar to get India off to a flyer. The duo toyed with the Bangladesh bowlers as India finished the Powerplay on 82/1 to record their best-ever score in the first six overs in a T20I game. India bettered their previous best of 82/2 against Scotland which came in Dubai in 2021.
India’s highest Powerplay scores in T20Is:
82/1 vs Bangladesh, Hyderabad, 2024
82/2 vs Scotland, Dubai, 2021
78/2 vs South Africa, Johannesburg, 2018
India record their fastest team 100 in T20Is
India also notched up their fastest team 100 in a T20I match, thanks to the onslaught from Samson and Suryakumar. India raced to their first fifty in just 26 balls before completing their hundred in 7.1 overs. India broke their previous record of 8 overs that came against West Indies in 2019. Samson contributed the most in India’s first hundred with 52 runs off 23 balls while Suryakumar contributed 36 off 15 deliveries.

India post highest-ever total by a full-member nation in T20Is
India scripted history with a batting masterclass against Bangladesh in the 3rd T20I as the Men in Blue went on to post the highest-ever total by a full-member nation in T20Is. India rode on Samson’s 111, Suryakumar’s 75 and Hardik’s quickfire cameo of 47 off 18 balls to post a mammoth total of 297/6 in 20 overs in Hyderabad.
India recorded the highest-ever total by a full-member nation in T20Is, breaking Afghanistan’s record of 278 runs against Ireland in 2019. India missed out by a whisker on becoming the first full-member nation to reach the elusive 300-run mark in T20Is. India’s 297/6 is the second-highest total of all time in T20I history behind only Nepal’s 314/3 which came against Mongolia in September last year.
India recorded their best-ever Powerplay score in T20Is and their fastest ever team 100 as Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav made a mockery of the Bangladesh bowling attack in the 3rd T20I in Hyderabad.
