The innings was quite special in many ways - and the most significant and rare occurrence in the innings was the five consecutive sixes he hit off the wrist-spinner Rishad Hossain for five sixes in the tenth over of the game.
It also marked India’s highest 10-over score in T20 internationals. The blistering knock came after two consecutive failures, scoring 29 and 10 in Gwalior and Delhi.

The 29-year-old finally walked back after a stunning 111 in just 47 balls, and was dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman in the 14th over of the innings, with India closing in on 200.
