India have created an all-time record against Bangladesh with their huge win in the third and final T20I of the series in Hyderabad. Led by a sensational batting performance and then an impressive outing with the ball, the hosts steamrolled the Bangla Tigers with a 133-run victory.

This is the biggest win (in terms of runs) against Bangladesh by any team in T20Is. The previous largest victory against the Bangla Tigers belonged to South Africa, who had handed them a 104-run thrashing in the T20 World Cup 2022.

The Indian team was as clinical as any team would be with a great all-round performance. The batters went crazy at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Sanju Samson smashed a jaw-dropping century, making 111 from 47 balls, while captain Suryakumar Yadav struck 75 from 35 deliveries. They both notched up a stand of 173 for the second wicket.

While these two batters led the team in the powerplay and most of the middle overs, Hardik Pandya and Riyan Parag took the baton for the latter part of the middle phase and death overs. Hardik smashed 47 from 18 balls and was dismissed in the last over as the hosts fell only three runs short of the 300-run mark.
