Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: A spectacular maiden T20I century by Sanju Samson along with captain Suryakumar Yadav’s scintillating 75 took India to a record-breaking 297/6 against Bangladesh in the third and final match of the series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Saturday.

On the day of Dusshera, Samson and Suryakumar brought out fireworks ranging from splendid to brutal in their 173-run stand at a run-rate of 15.04 to leave Bangladesh shellshocked, as India posted its highest-ever T20I total. It is also the highest score posted by a full member of the ICC.

Samson, who had a lean run so far, broke the shackles in style by hitting 111 off 47 balls – laced with 11 fours and eight sixes at a strike-rate of 236.17 to hold the record for the second fastest T20I century by an Indian batter.
