Ishan Kishan delivered a jaw-dropping masterclass with the bat, smashing his maiden T20I century off just 42 balls in the 5th and final T20I against New Zealand at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram.
The left-hander didn’t just score a hundred — he rewrote records and completely stole the spotlight on a night many expected to belong to Sanju Samson.
⚡ Record-Breaking Knock
-
🏏 103 runs off 43 balls
-
💣 10 sixes & 6 fours
-
🚀 Fastest-ever T20I hundred by an Indian against New Zealand
-
🇮🇳 5th-fastest T20I hundred by an Indian overall
-
🔢 7th T20 hundred in his career (joint 4th-most by an Indian)
Coming back after missing the previous match due to injury, Kishan looked fresh, fearless, and unstoppable from ball one.
🔄 Game-Changing Partnership
India were wobbling at 54/2 in the powerplay, having lost Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma early. That’s when Kishan joined forces with skipper Suryakumar Yadav — and chaos followed.
-
🤝 137-run partnership in just over 10 overs
-
🔥 Every New Zealand bowler came under attack
-
🎯 Kishan reached his 50 in 28 balls, then shifted gears brutally
🎯 Sodhi Over = Carnage
The moment that truly defined the innings?
Kishan absolutely demolished leg-spinner Ish Sodhi for 29 runs in one over, flipping the match on its head.
-
⚡ Second fifty came in just 14 balls
-
🧠 Pure power mixed with smart shot selection
🏆 Century With Authority
Even after Suryakumar’s classy 63 off 30 balls, Kishan continued the assault. He brought up his historic hundred in style — back-to-back sixes off Mitchell Santner.
The celebration said it all: confidence, relief, and dominance.
🌟 Final Word
On a night full of expectations, Ishan Kishan stood tall, delivering one of the most destructive T20I innings by an Indian batter.
A reminder to everyone — write him off at your own risk.
