In a sensational display of power-hitting, India equaled their highest-ever powerplay score in T20 Internationals by posting 82/1 in the first six overs against Bangladesh in the 3rd T20I in Hyderabad. The explosive partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson set the tone, leaving Bangladesh struggling to contain the onslaught.
This score of 82/1 matches India’s previous record achieved against Scotland during the 2021 T20 World Cup in Dubai. Suryakumar Yadav’s quickfire 35 from just 13 balls, coupled with Samson’s steady 37*, guided India to this commanding position, making it one of their most dominant powerplay performances to date.
India’s other top powerplay scores include 82/2 against Scotland in 2021, 78/2 against South Africa in 2018, and 77/1 against both Australia and Sri Lanka in 2023 and 2009, respectively. The powerful start today laid a strong foundation for India to continue their charge against Bangladesh.
