**Hyderabad, India:** India dominated Bangladesh in the third and final T20I match of the series, setting a new world record for the highest ever T20 score in the process. India piled on a mammoth 297 runs, eclipsing their previous record and establishing a new benchmark for all test-playing nations.
The Indian team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, elected to bat first and made full use of the opportunity. Sanju Samson, who was on fire, smashed a record-breaking 111 off 47 balls, including a phenomenal five sixes in a single over bowled by Rishad Hossain. He became the second fastest Indian to score a T20I century, only surpassed by Rohit Sharma’s record-breaking 35-ball century against Sri Lanka in 2017.
Other notable performances included Hardik Pandya’s blistering 47 off 18 and Suryakumar Yadav’s 61, who unfortunately fell short of his own record-breaking century. The Indian team’s powerplay score of 82/1 also became the highest ever for them in the format.
Bangladesh, despite their best efforts, were no match for India’s explosive batting display and ultimately suffered a humiliating defeat. This victory cemented India’s dominance in the series, securing a 3-0 sweep.
This victory is a testament to the team’s strength and batting prowess, showcasing their incredible ability to dominate on the field. The record-breaking score has not only made headlines but also cemented India’s position as a force to be reckoned with in the world of T20 cricket.
