AhmedabadIn the T20 World Cup final, Team India shocked New Zealand by scoring 255 runs in 20 overs thanks to some outstanding batting from their top order, which included Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and Abhishek Sharma. At one point, it appeared as though India would easily surpass the 260-run threshold because all three batters reached the 50-run threshold and scored runs at such a rapid pace. Nevertheless, India scored a huge total after overcoming a stutter in the final overs.
Abhishek Sharma's discovery of his rhythm prior to the final marked the beginning of it all. He faced the fast bowlers from New Zealand, who oddly refused to give Glenn Phillips another over. For the first time in the World Cup, the southpaw found his rhythm and scored a half-century off just 18 balls.
Samson took over and made some crazy shots after he was dismissed. Ishan Kishan joined him, and the two put together a century stand off of just 45 deliveries. However, James Neesham turned things around for New Zealand, and both of them were out in a single over.

At the fag end of the innings, runs did not arrive as anticipated. India appeared to be finishing at about 240 runs, but Shivam Dube had other ideas. In the final over, he destroyed Neesham for 24 runs, bringing India's total to 255 runs in their 20 overs. In the process, India's batters broke numerous records during their innings.
