**Hyderabad, India:** Team India delivered a spectacular performance in the third T20I against Bangladesh, securing a dominant 133-run victory. The match witnessed a record-breaking display of aggressive batting, with Sanju Samson smashing a maiden T20I century in a breathtaking display of stroke play.
Samson, who has faced criticism for failing to convert his starts into big scores, silenced his doubters with a flamboyant century. He achieved the milestone in the 10th over, smashing five consecutive sixes and dismantling the Bangladesh bowling attack. His 106 runs off just 63 balls, featuring 11 sixes and 6 fours, was the highlight of the innings.
Samson’s partner-in-crime, Suryakumar Yadav, also contributed a rapid 75 runs off 35 balls, laying the foundation for India’s massive 229/2 total. The duo put together a mammoth 173-run partnership in just 69 balls.
Bangladesh’s bowlers were helpless against the onslaught, with their captain Najmul Hossain Shanto looking lost amidst the carnage. Their fielding was equally disappointing, with dropped catches and missed run-out opportunities adding to their misery.
In response to the mammoth target, Bangladesh never posed a serious threat. While Litton Das (42) and Towhid Hridoy (50) offered some resistance, they couldn’t keep up with the required run rate.
India’s bowlers also played a crucial role in the victory. Ravi Bishnoi, making his return to the side, delivered a standout performance with figures of 3/30. Mayank Yadav and Washington Sundar also claimed two and one wicket respectively.
This dominant win marks a resounding end to the T20I series, with India securing a 2-1 series victory. The match will be remembered for Sanju Samson’s record-breaking innings and Team India’s sheer dominance throughout the game.
