IND vs NAM: Ishan Kishan's 6-hitting spree powers India for fastest team 100 in T20 World Cup by just a single delivery

Team India created history at the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup on Thursday, after they registered the fastest team 100 in tournament history.

During their Group A match against Namibia in Delhi on Thursday, the Men in Blue reached the 100-run mark in just 6.5 overs, which is 41 balls. India beat the record of Netherlands, who had reached the 100-run mark in seven overs during a T20 World Cup match against Ireland in 2014.

Ishan Kishan was wreaking havoc when India achieved this feat. The wicketkeeper-batter was already in his rhythm before that, having smashed JJ Smit for four consecutive sixes in the sixth over.

Kishan slammed 61 runs from just 24 deliveries, hitting six fours and five sixes. He reached his half-century off just 20 balls, already hitting five fours and four sixes by then. The Jharkhand cricketer was dismissed by Namibia skipper Gerhard Erasmus in the eighth over.
