India blazed to a record 249/5 in Ranchi, the highest T20I total against the West Indies, with Sanju Samson smashing 82 in just 41 deliveries—his fastest fifty in 21 balls.
The powerplay was a runaway, 79/1, with Samson’s 82 the main engine and Shreyas Iyer adding a sleek 40 off 18. Tilak Varma stayed unbeaten on 44, sealing the total with a furious 18‑ball cameo.
West Indies could only muster a single threat in Roston Chase, who took 3/24 in four overs, but the rest of the bowling unit slipped, leaking runs and allowing India to hit 300 sixes across the series.
With the series now 1–0 in India's favour, the momentum swings into the next match in Lucknow, where India will look to extend the lead and put the West Indies under further pressure.
