India's batting display against England in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 2nd semifinal at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium was an explosive masterclass, propelling

\n\n

them to a formidable total in the semifinal.

England captain Harry Brook won the toss and elected to field first on a batting-friendly pitch, hoping to exploit any early movement. However, India's openers set an aggressive tone.

Abhishek Sharma provided a brisk start with 9 runs before falling to Will Jacks, caught by Phil Salt. The innings truly ignited with Sanju Samson, who delivered a breathtaking 89 off 42 balls (8 fours, 7 sixes, SR 211.90), dismantling England's attack with innovative strokeplay. Ishan Kishan contributed a solid 39, while Suryakumar Yadav (captain) anchored with composure before departing for a valuable knock.

\n\n\n

A 97-run stand between Samson and Kishan rebuilt momentum after early loss, followed by acceleration from Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya. Pandya's late cameo included powerful hits, though he fell run out in the final over.

India have posted 253/7 in 20 overs, which is the highest total for a team in any T20 World Cup knockout match. A win in this match would take them to the final, where they will face New Zealand on Sunday.

As the Indian batters produced a stellar performance, they have gone on to break a number of records, and have set new lofty numbers. Here's a look at the number of records and key stats India have created with the bat-
