Absolute carnage ensued in Hyderabad as all hell broke loose during India's essay with the bat during the third and final T20I of the series against Bangladesh. It could not have been a worse toss to lose for Bangladesh as they were hammered all across by a belligerent Indian batting unit which showed no mercy at all.

Sanju Samson answered those doubting him and how! The second over of the innings during when he stroked Taskin Ahmed for as runs as he conceded in his four-over spell in Delhi was merely the onset of his aggressive best. The over post the end of the powerplay saw Samson registering a 22-ball half-century, but that was just the interval as far as Rishad Hossain was concerned. The real mayhem was caused by a 30-run over off the leg-spinner by Samson, as he kicked on from 62 to 92 in no time. His maiden T20I ton was brought up in 40 deliveries, in what was a truly speciall knock by him.

Suryakumar Yadav was another batter who was up to the task right from the get-go. The skipper was at his dynamic best which was conclusively evident with the way he batted. The manner in which he didn't put his step off the pedal spoke volumes of his intent. The main highlight of Suryakumar's innings was the manner in which he tore into Tanzim Hasan Sakib in the final over of the powerplay.

Later, it was a combative 26-ball 70-run partnership between Riyan Parag and Hardik Pandya which motored the score past 250 and even ignited the prospect of India amassing 300. The hosts fell three runs shy, but that was never going to take away from the effort.

Mayank Yadav started off with a bang as a sharp shot delivery caught Parvez Hossain Emon off guard. Tanzid Hasan and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto could not get going and looked static during their stay at the crease. Much like Samson, it was Litton Das who sprayed five boundaries to greet local body, Nitish Kumar Reddy, to the crease, with the difference being that these were all boundaries.

Middle-order batter Towhid Hridoy tried his level best to club a few hefty blows and brought up a well-deserved half-century. There was a polarising contrast in the fielding by both the sides. Litton missed cashing in, but Hridoy didn't fail to. Ending up on an unbeaten 63* off 42 deliveries, he was the lone batter who took his chances from the visitors's side apart from Litton.

Hardik and Reddy might have gotten peppered during their respective three-over spells, but it was a dominating performance with the ball otherwise. It was another clinical display by Varun Chakravarthy, who despite ending wicketless in his four-over spell, emerged as the leading wicket-taker from both the sides as far as the 20-over segment is concerned. Ravi Bishnoi impressed on his return to the squad with a three-wicket haul which saw him bowl a maiden over as well. Washington Sundar, arguably the most underutilized Indian player across the series, chipped in with a wicket in the solitary over he bowled.
