Hyderabad erupted in celebration as India sealed a resounding 133-run victory over Bangladesh in the third and final T20I, sweeping the series 3-0 in emphatic fashion. The hosts registered the third-largest win in their T20I history, capping off a flawless performance in front of an ecstatic home crowd.

India's Record-Breaking Batting Blitz

After winning the toss, India captain Suryakumar Yadav chose to bat first, and his decision paid off as the Indian top-order launched a relentless assault on the Bangladesh bowlers, posting a staggering 297/6 — the highest-ever T20I total by a Test-playing nation. Sanju Samson led the charge with a scintillating maiden T20I century, scoring 111 off just 47 balls, supported by Yadav himself, who smashed a quickfire 75 off 35 deliveries.

The Samson-Yadav duo added a monumental 173-run partnership for the second wicket, decimating Bangladesh's bowling attack. While both fell in quick succession, Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) and Riyan Parag (34 off 13) provided a stunning finish, adding 70 runs for the fourth wicket to push India close to the 300-run mark.

Bangladesh’s bowlers struggled, with Tanzim Hasan Sakib conceding 66 runs in his four overs, becoming the most expensive Bangladeshi bowler in T20I history. Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Mahmudullah Riyad took a wicket each but were unable to stem the Indian onslaught.

Bangladesh's Struggle in the Chase

Facing an enormous target of 298, Bangladesh’s hopes of a successful chase were dashed when debutant Mayank Yadav claimed a wicket on his very first ball. Litton Das (42 off 25) and Towhid Hridoy (63* off 42) offered some resistance, with Hridoy carrying his bat to score an impressive unbeaten half-century, but the visitors never looked in control, limping to 164/7 in their 20 overs.

Ravi Bishnoi, making his return to the format, was the pick of India’s bowlers, finishing with 3/30, while Yadav took 2/30 on debut. Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy also chipped in with a wicket each.

Adding a sentimental note to the series finale, Bangladesh veteran Mahmudullah Riyad played his final T20I, scoring 8 off 9 balls. While it wasn’t the farewell innings he might have hoped for, his contributions to Bangladesh cricket were acknowledged as the team gave him a warm send-off.
