Top 10 Most runs scored in a T20I match

1. India v West Indies at Lauderhill, 2016 – 489 runs

India played their first ever T20I match in the United States at the iconic Lauderhill Stadium at Florida. The match marked Carlos Brathwaite’s first ever match as the West Indies skipper. The match started with West Indies openers, Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles, plundering the Indian bowling lineup with no mercy. Charles went back to the dugout after his 33-ball 79. Evin Lewis went on to score a brilliant century that propelled West Indies to a total of 245/6 in their 20 overs.

India lost Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli cheaply in their run chase. However, Rohit Sharma had other plans. Rohit Sharma found an able partner in KL Rahul and the duo raced past their 50-run stand in just 22 balls and thereby getting India back in the game. Sharma was sent back after scoring 62 in 28 balls. KL Rahul continued to bat with flair and elegance to notch up his maiden T20I ton while skipper Dhoni scored a breezy 25-ball 43.

However, India couldn’t ease past the target. Needing 2 to win off the last ball, skipper Dhoni perished on a slower one by Dwayne Bravo and India were left stranded on 244/4 in their 20 overs. The match saw an aggregate of 489 runs scored and as many as 32 sixes were hit.
