India routed Bangladesh by 133 runs in the third and final T20I to register a 3-0 clean sweep in Hyderabad on Saturday. After opting to bat first, India posted a massive total 297 for 6 in 20 overs against Bangladesh. While this the second-best total by any team in T20I history, it is the biggest score by any Test-playing nation. India lost Abhishek Sharma early but Sanju Samson (111 off 47 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (75 off 35 balls) laid a solid platform with a 173-run partnership. Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) and Riyan Parag (34 off 13) kept India going at a brisk pace and the side eventually posted the mammoth total on the board. In reply, Bangladesh were restricted to 164 for 7 in 20 overs.

Sanju Samson was the standout performer, becoming the first Indian wicketkeeper-batter to score a T20I century. It’s rare for Suryakumar Yadav to be overshadowed in a T20I innings, but with his explosive 111 off 47 balls, Samson achieved just that. Hardik Pandya also made a significant contribution, adding a quickfire 47 runs from just 18 balls, helping India surpass their previous best T20I total by 37 runs.
