The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Final witnessed a remarkable batting performance from the India national cricket team, which laid the foundation for their title triumph.
Batting first, India posted a massive 255/5 in 20 overs, setting a new record for the highest team total in a T20 World Cup final. The highlight of the innings was a brilliant knock by wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson, who scored an outstanding 89 runs.
Samson’s aggressive approach kept the scoreboard ticking and helped India dominate the innings. His performance also set a new record for the highest individual score in a T20 World Cup final.
The huge total eventually proved too much for New Zealand to chase, paving the way for India’s historic World Cup victory.
