Opener Sanju Samson's blistering century helped world champions India hammer Bangladesh in the IND vs BAN 3rd T20I on Saturday to sweep the series 3-0 after they posted the format's highest total by a Test-playing nation of 297-6.
The hosts went past Afghanistan's 278-3 against Ireland in 2019. The Indian total is the second highest in all T20 internationals after Nepal's 314-3 against Mongolia at last year's Asian Games in China.
