NEW DELHI: Sanju Samson hit the second-fastest century for India and his maiden T20I ton as the hosts posted their second-highest total of 297 for 6 in the third and final match against Bangladesh in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Samson reached his century in just 40 balls and finished with an explosive 111 from 47 balls, including eight sixes and 11 fours. He shared a stunning 173-run partnership off 70 balls with skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who played the perfect supporting role with 75 off 35 balls, hitting five sixes and eight fours.
In the final overs, Hardik Pandya (47 off 18 balls, 4 fours, 4 sixes) and Riyan Parag (34 off 13 balls, 1 four, 4 sixes) continued the attack by adding 70 runs for the fourth wicket and further damage caused the bowlers from Bangladesh.
Here’s a look at all the records India broke during their explosive performance that left everyone in awe:
