India Sets Powerplay Record in T20I Win Over Bangladesh

India Sets Powerplay Record in Historic T20I Victory Against Bangladesh

 

It was a nail-biting finish on Sunday, October 6, 2024, when Suryakumar Yadav’s Indian T20 I team achieved the record for the highest powerplay score in T20I history, by surpassing previously held records. It was during the very first T20I game held in Gwalior, that India‘s chase against Bangladesh was indeed successful as they ‘only’ required 128 runs aided by a storm from the top order as well as a superb ending from Hardik Pandya the aggressor.

 

Powerplay Scoring Record

Right from the first ball when chasing down the target set by the Bangladesh team, the Indian side was never short of Indian aggression. Choosing to start with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, the Men in Blue made sure they put the Bangladeshi men with the ball under pressure straight away. Again, as was the case during the entire innings, both openers took chances and waited for runs even if it meant hitting out. Still, Abhishek Sharma’s innings came to an end when he clicked 16 runs off 7 balls only for him to be run out.

The attack was spearheaded by the Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson who did not give a break to the Bangladeshi team. With Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of the team, also at the crease, Samson scored 29 runs off 14 balls without slowing down the pace. At the conclusion of the powerplay, the Indian team scored 71/2, shattering their own Asian Games record of 68/1 set in 2023 under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad.

This new record also stands as the highest-ever powerplay score by any team against Bangladesh in T20I cricket, bettering previous notable scores of 91/1 and 88/1 made by The West Indies in 2018.

 

Bangladesh Fails to Compete with Indian Bowlers

Earlier in the day, they lost the toss and Bangladesh was sent to bat first. The visitors found themselves on the receiving end of an excellent bowling attack from Arshdeep Singh, debutant Mayank Yadav, and the reinstated Varun Chakravarthy. Both Arshdeep and Chakravarthy claimed three wickets each, making it hard for Bangladeshi batters to form sizeable partnerships.

Leaving a mark in the world of cricket on his very first day, Mayank Yadav was quick to make his presence felt. The young fast bowler bowled a brilliant maiden over and also picked his first wicket, further ensuring that the Indians remained in total control of the match. With all that pressure, Bangladesh managed only a measly total of 127 with Mehidy Hasan Miraz standing at the end with 29 balls and scoring 35.

Thanks to the explosive start, the middle order had a base to build upon. In some pacey runs by the two, Suryakumar Yadav made a quick 29 while Sanju Samson did even better before Hardik Pandya completed the job.

An all-guns blazing Pandya scored an incredible 39 not out from just 16 balls and practically finished off any hope of the target being a challenge with still 49 balls in the win. With his powerful visuals, the man provisions to break the match for India, and thus the able team achieves their very first victory in the series with ease.
