Team India becomes the side with the most 200+ totals to their name after scoring 297/6 in their batting essay on Saturday, October 12. They achieved this feat in the final T20I of their three-match series against Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
Batting first Team India posted a gargantuan total. After losing Abhishek Sharma early, Sanju Samson (111 off 47) and Suryakumar Yadav (75 off 35) stitched together a 173-run partnership. After their dismissal, Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) and Riyan Parag (34 off 13) added 70 runs for the fourth wicket and kept the flow of runs going. On the last ball of the innings, Rinku Singh smashed a six to end on a high, scoring 297/6.
Team India broke the record for the highest T20I total for a Test-playing nation, going past 278/3 scored back Afghanistan against Ireland back in 2019. They also fell 17 runs short of surpassing the highest total - 314/3 after 20 overs- scored by Nepal against Mongolia in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.
India also now holds the record for most 200+ totals in T20 cricket, doing so on 37 occasions. They are the only international team in that list, with T20 teams in Somerset (36), Chennai Super Kings (35), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (33) and Yorkshire (31). The next international team on that list is Australia, with the Kangaroos scoring 200+ 23 times.

Ravi Bishnoi, playing his first match of the series, shone with the ball as he picked up three wickets. Meanwhile, Mayank Yadav picked up two wickets as Bangladesh finished on 164/7.
