India defeated Pakistan in the 27th match of the T20 World Cup at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. But this match belonged to one man: Ishan Kishan
India didn’t begin well. Opener Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a duck. Pressure was on. Pakistan looked in control
While wickets fell at one end, Ishan Kishan attacked fearlessly. India scored 52 runs in the powerplay and 42 of those came from Ishan’s bat alone!
The previous record for most powerplay runs by an Indian vs Pakistan was 35 by Shubman Gill (Asia Cup 2025). Ishan smashed 42, creating a new record!
Ishan scored 77 off 40 balls (10 fours, 3 sixes). He broke Gautam Gambhir’s 75-run record from the 2007 T20 World Cup
Two big records. One unforgettable innings. Against Pakistan, Ishan Kishan announced himself as India’s new big-match hero
