India achieved the feat after defeating West Indies by eight runs in the second T20I of the three-match series here at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Apart from India, Pakistan is the only team to have won more than 100 T20Is. Pakistan have so far won 118 T20Is. Rohit Sharma is yet to lose a single game after becoming India's full-time captain.
It was a thrashing of epic proportions as the Proteas lost the first Test to New Zealand by an innings and 276 runs in Christchurch on Saturday.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar's form since his return from injury has often been questioned but India skipper Rohit Sharma "believes in him a lot" after the seamer bowled a brilliant penultimate over that helped the hosts win the second T20I against West Indies. Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded four runs in the 19th over as West Indies fell short by eight runs in an exciting finish. "You are always a bit scared when you are playing against these guys (West Indies power hitters). In the end, it was a phenomenal finish. Right from the start, we knew it wouldn't be easy. But I am proud we executed our plans under pressure. It was very critical at that point when Bhuvneshwar bowled," said Rohit at the post match presentation after series-sealing win. "That's where experience comes into play. Bhuvi has been doing it for many years and we believe in him a lot."
Virat Kohli would fare was the sub-plot of the second T20I match at the Eden Gardens here on Friday. The handful of spectators allowed at the venue went home happy as India sealed the three-match series, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead, and Kohli too showed glimpses of his vintage form to hit his 30th T20I half-century. West Indies, however, did put up a much-improved show and at one time looked like taking the match away. Nicholas Pooran, who played a lone hand in the last match on Wednesday, got an able partner in Rovman Powell as the duo stitched together a 60-ball 100-run third-wicket stand to put India under pressure.
Bihar found itself under the spotlight on Friday when local lad Shakibul Gani (22) scripted cricketing history, hitting a triple century on first-class debut --- the first in the world to do so. In the Ranji Plate tie against Mizoram in Kolkata, he blazed 341 runs off 405 balls, eclipsing the previous record of MP’s Ajay Rohera (unbeaten 267 against Hyderabad in 2018).
New Zealand has completed a one-sided demolition of South Africa, winning the first Test by an innings and 276 runs before lunch on day three day to end a winless run that lasted almost 20 years.
WELLINGTON (Reuters) -New Zealand captain Tom Latham hailed a "perfect performance" after his team completed a one-sided demolition of a pitiful South Africa, winning the first test by an innings and 276 runs before lunch on day three day on Saturday.
