In the T20 World Cup 2026 match against Namibia, India’s wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan played such an inning, which decided the course of the match in the initial overs itself. This left-handed batsman scored runs aggressively and completed his half-century in just 20 balls and ultimately returned after scoring 61 runs in 24 balls. Playing with a strike rate above 250, he hit 6 fours and 5 sixes. On the basis of this explosive innings, Ishaan has made his place in a special record.
28 runs scored in one over
The last over of the powerplay proved to be the turning point of the match. Namibian bowler JJ Smith’s first ball in that over was a dot, but after that Ishaan changed gears. Ishaan hit four consecutive sixes on the next four balls and a four on the last ball, making a total of 28 runs. This attack spoiled the strategy of the opposition captain and India got the benefit of a fast start.
With this feat, Ishaan has reached joint second position for India in terms of scoring the most runs in an over in the T20 World Cup. He equaled Rohit Sharma, who had scored 28 runs in an over in the 2024 edition. Yuvraj Singh is still at the forefront of this elite list. In 2007, he achieved the feat of scoring 36 by hitting 6 sixes in one over against England.
great comeback chapter
This performance is special for Ishaan because till some time ago he was not in the regular plans of the national team. By scoring runs consistently in domestic tournaments, he caught the attention of the selectors and capitalized on the opportunity as soon as he got it. In the recent T20 series against New Zealand also, he gave an indication of his form by scoring a quick century.
It is good news for India that there is an aggressive option in the top order. In big tournaments, such innings not only increase the score but also give new heights to the team’s confidence.
