It comes as no surprise that India's two tallest T20 batting structures were built in 2024. This year will be remembered for India's T20 cricket coming of age. Not just because they ended a 17-year wait for a second T20 world title, but also because they never lost focus to set the pace that the format demands.
Following last month's 297/6 at Hyderabad against Bangladesh, India batters delivered another sensational performance on Friday - 283/1 against South Africa at Johannesburg. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side beat the Proteas 3-1 in the series with a 135-run win at Wanderers in their final T20I of the year. It was India's 24th win in 26 games, an incredible 92.3% success percentage.
"Even before the World Cup, we spoke about what brand of cricket we want to play in T20," Surya told reporters. "We play for different franchises in IPL, but wanted to play the same cricket here as a group; a different brand of cricket than what we did before. As to after the World Cup, if it's going so well, why change."
