Team India once again proved its dominance in the shortest format of cricket, securing a 3-0 clean sweep against Bangladesh in the T20 series. Under the dynamic leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, the team not only won convincingly but also shattered several records, reinforcing its place as one of the most powerful T20 sides in the world. With a massive 133-run victory in Hyderabad, India set five unique milestones, showcasing the fearless and selfless cricket Suryakumar had hoped for.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Vision for Team India
After the conclusion of the T20 series, Suryakumar Yadav expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance. He shared that his main goal was for the team to play selfless and fearless cricket, a style of play that reflects Team India’s bold identity. According to him, the players executed this vision perfectly, and the results were there for everyone to see. India’s performance in the Hyderabad T20 was a testament to this mindset.
Here are the five records India achieved in the Hyderabad T20 match, highlighting their dominance on the field.
1. Fastest Team Century in T20 Internationals
Team India registered the fastest team century in T20I cricket, reaching the 100-run mark in just 7.1 overs. This phenomenal feat surpassed the previous record held by the West Indies, who had achieved the same milestone in 8 overs. India’s aggressive approach at the top, combined with some powerful hitting, helped them set this record, demonstrating their attacking intent right from the start.
2. Most Boundaries in a T20 Innings
India also broke the record for the most boundaries in a T20 innings, hitting a total of 47 boundaries against Bangladesh. This included 25 fours and 22 sixes. By doing so, they surpassed the Czech Republic’s previous record of 43 boundaries, which they had set against Turkey in 2019. It was a spectacular display of power hitting, and India’s ability to find the boundary consistently throughout the innings was unmatched.
3. Most Runs from Boundaries in a Single Innings
In addition to scoring the most boundaries, India also set the record for the most runs scored from boundaries in a single T20 innings. Out of their total, 232 runs came from boundaries, breaking the previous record of 216 runs, which was held by Punjab against Andhra Pradesh in domestic T20 cricket. In T20 Internationals, the previous record was 212 runs, made by Nepal against Mongolia. India’s heavy reliance on boundaries in this match demonstrated their aggressive and fearless batting style.
4. 10+ Runs in 18 Overs
One of the most impressive feats India achieved in this match was scoring 10 or more runs in 18 different overs. This level of consistency in high-scoring overs was unprecedented in T20 cricket. Except for two overs, where 7 and 9 runs were scored, every other over in the innings saw double-digit scores. This constant pressure on Bangladesh’s bowlers was a key factor in India’s massive total.
5. Most Sixes Against Bangladesh
India smashed 22 sixes in the Hyderabad T20, setting the record for the most sixes hit by any team in a T20 International against Bangladesh. They broke the previous record of 21 sixes, which had been set by Sri Lanka in 2017. India’s power-hitting ability, especially in the latter half of the innings, left Bangladesh’s bowlers helpless as the ball repeatedly sailed over the boundary ropes.
India’s Fearless Cricket Under Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership in this series has been a revelation. His vision of fearless cricket was perfectly executed by the team, leading to a dominant performance that not only brought them victory but also etched their names in the record books.
