From Bhanu Pania to Abhimanyu Singh Rajput, all came together to dethrone Sikkim in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, as it was all Baroda over Sikkim in the ongoing SMAT clash. The Krunal Pandya-led side smashed 349 in 20 overs, losing only a few wickets. With this, the team registered highest score in T20 cricket all over and also became the first team in SMAT to score 300+ runs, showcasing their dominance with the bat.
Initially, it was Shashank Rawat and Abhimanyu Singh Rajput who laid the foundation, but when Bhanu Pania came to the crease, he took charge and thumped every Sikkim bowler with his power-packed innings. The explosive display took place at the Emerald Heights International School Ground, Indore. As mentioned, the team set a record for one of the highest scores in T20 cricket.
