What is India’s highest successful chase in men’s T20Is?

India chased down 226 against New Zealand to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20I series on Thursday. It was India’s seventh 200 plus total chase in T20Is, and its third against New Zealand.

Overall, it was also India’s highest successful run-chase in T20Is. Its previous joint highest run chase was 209, also against New Zealand in January earlier this year.

In that match, then captain Suryakumar Yadav scored a 37-ball 82 to help India chase down the target with 28 balls to spare. Ishan Kishan was the man of the match for his 32-ball 76, while Shivam Dube played a supporting hand with an unbeaten 18-ball 36.

India also chased down 209 against Australia in Visakhapatnam in November 2023, while it has chased down 208 and 207 against West Indies in 2019 and Sri Lanka in 2009 respectively.
