India posted a record-breaking 256/4 in 20 overs against Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup Super 8 clash at Chennai as their highest-ever total in T20 World Cup history. After Abhishek Sharma's 55 and Sanju Samson's explosive start, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya stitched a blazing fifty-plus partnership in just 20 deliveries to seal a mammoth total. Tilak was exceptional in the death overs, smashing sixes over long-on and midwicket while Hardik provided crucial support. India crossed 200 in the 17th over before accelerating dramatically. The 19th over alone yielded massive runs as Tilak's ruthless hitting powered India past their previous T20 World Cup best, thrilling a packed 26,602-strong Chepauk crowd. (PC: X)
