47 times more than 200! Team India T20 batting numbers are simply incredible | Cricket News - The Tech Word News

Since the 2024 FIFA World Cup T20, India have registered a total of 14,200 or more in T20Is, double the number managed by any other side in the same period. (AP photo) NEW DELHI: India reiterated why they are considered the most devastating batting unit in the shortest format as Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya rode on long half-centuries to produce a commanding 209/9 against Namibia in their Group A encounter at the Men’s World T20 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday.Kishan set the tone with a breathtaking 61 off just 24 deliveries, mixing raw power with pure timing as he dismantled Namibia’s pace attack in the over. His innings, studded with sharp boundaries and towering sixes, took India to a stunning 104/1 in just seven overs. Pandya then took over the mantle and hit a muscular 52 off 28 balls, ensuring India maintained momentum despite losing wickets at regular intervals later in the innings.

However, Namibia found a way to turn things around through their captain Gerhard Erasmus, who produced a remarkable spell of unorthodox sling bowling. Erasmus finished with career-best figures of 4/20, using variations and subtle changes of pace to stifle the Indian batting on a surface that offered some grip to the spinners. Alongside Bernard Scholtz, Erasmus put the brakes on in the middle Tests and forced India into errors as they tried to keep the score down.Although Pandya mounted a late counter-attack to bring up his half-century, India lost five wickets in the last two overs, allowing Namibia to regain some seriousness. From a position where India looked set to comfortably cross 220, Namibia would look to limit the damage to just over 200.The innings saw India extend their tally of 200-plus scores in men’s T20 internationals to 47 – the most by any team. South Africa with 29 such totals, followed by New Zealand (28), while Australia and the West Indies are joint fourth with 25.The recent scoring in India has been even more emphatic. Since the 2024 T20 World Cup, they have registered a total of 14,200 or more in T20Is, double the number managed by any other side in the same period. The consistency highlights the depth and fearlessness of the Indian batting.Even in the history of the T20 World Cup, India’s ability to cross the 200-run mark has been a recurring theme. Their notable scores include 218/4 against England in Durban in 2007, 210/2 against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi in 2021, 205/5 against Australia in Gros Islet in 2024 and now 209/9 against Namibia in Delhi in 2026.Most 200+ Totals in Men’s T20Is47 – India29 – South Africa28 – New Zealand25 – Australia25 – West IndiesIndia have amassed over 14,200 totals in T20Is after T20 WC 2024200+ total for India in T20WC218/4 vs ENG, Durban, 2007210/2 vs AFG, Abu Dhabi, 2021209/9 vs. NAM, Delhi, 2026205/5 vs AUS, Gros Islet, 2024
