In a record-shattering display at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India posted a massive 256/4 against Zimbabwe in their must-win T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight clash. After being put in to bat, the Indian top order finally fired, led by Abhishek Sharma’s maiden World Cup fifty (55 off 30) and a brisk opening cameo from Sanju Samson.

The momentum was carried forward by Ishan Kishan (38) and Suryakumar Yadav (33), but the real fireworks came at the death; Hardik Pandya smashed an unbeaten 50 off 23 balls, while Tilak Varma provided an explosive finish with 44* off just 16 deliveries. This total stands as India’s highest-ever in T20 World Cup history and the second-highest overall in the tournament’s record books, leaving Zimbabwe with a daunting mountain to climb as they begin their chase.
