India captain Suryakumar Yadav<\/a> elected to bat first in the series decider against Bangladesh on Saturday.
Sanju Samson<\/a> gave India a blazing start alongside skipper Suryakumar after the early dismissal of opener Abhishek Sharma<\/a> for just 4 runs. Both Samson and Suryakumar have maintained strike rates exceeding 200, forming an explosive 173-run partnership.
Samson put on a spectacular display, hammering five consecutive sixes off Rishad Hossain after missing out on a maximum on the first ball of the over.

Sanju Samson blasted a sensational century, reaching the milestone in record time to score the second-fastest T20I hundred by an Indian. He was eventually dismissed for 111 off just 47 balls, showcasing an explosive display of power-hitting.
India have already secured the three-match T20I series with a 2-0 lead. They clinched the first T20I with a comfortable 7-wicket victory, followed by a dominant 86-run win in the second game.
After winning the toss, Suryakumar Yadav said, “We would like to bat first, looks a good wicket. These are the things we want to do. Set a target and defend the total with dew around. I think it’s important to continue with the good habits, it will have a good impact on us. We just want to give freedom, the guys want to make an impact. Happy with the way the guys are playing. Arshdeep misses out, Bishnoi comes in.”
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said during the time of the toss, “I am happy to bowl first, toss doesn’t matter. We have two changes. Tamim and Mahedi are in. We need to take responsibility as batters. We need to improve and execute our plans. Hopefully, we do something special in the 40 overs.”
For the final match, Arshdeep Singh<\/a> has been rested, with spinner Ravi Bishnoi coming into the playing XI as the only change. India now aim for a series sweep against Bangladesh.
