149.5kmph thunderbolt! Mayank Yadav leaves West Indies reeling in chase

India’s aggressive batting set a record pace in their T20I series against the West Indies, posting a team total of 249 for 5 in just 20 overs at Ranchi. The innings was led by Sanju Samson’s explosive 82 off 41 balls, while Shreyas Iyer (40 off 18), Ishan Kishan (43 off 22), and an unbeaten 44 from Tilak Varma off 18 balls propelled the total past their previous best against the West Indies.

The chase began with a jolt as Mayank Yadav’s opening spell dismantled the visitors, claiming three wickets inside the powerplay with blistering pace. His fastest delivery, clocked at 149.5 kmph, bowled Rovman Powell, while earlier he had dismissed Shimron Hetmyer with a 144 kmph short ball and Kamil Pooran with a 143 kmph delivery.

By the end of the powerplay, West Indies were reeling at 72 for 3, facing a daunting task against India’s formidable total.
