It was a one-way traffic in Bengaluru on Sunday.
With India celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, their batters were busy lighting up the M Chinnaswamy Stadium with a flurry of boundaries in an ICC Cricket World Cup contest against the Netherlands.
The pitch was expected to be a belter and so it was. Two India batters scored centuries while as many as three hit half-centuries as they racked up 410/4 in 50 overs in search of a record ninth win on the bounce at a world cup.
Here’s the full list of records set by India during the carnage
Most Individual Fifty-plus Scores in ODIs for India
This is the first time that five Indian batters have scored 50-plus scores in the same ODI innings. Shreyas Iyer (128*) and KL Rahul (102) struck hundreds while Rohit Sharma (61), Shubman Gill (51) and Virat Kohli collected half-century apiece.
India are the third team after Pakistan and Australia to do so.
