Sanju Samson smashed his maiden T20I century to fire India to 297/6, their highest total in the format in the third T20I against Bangladesh in Hyderabad on Saturday.

The wicket-keeper batter from Kerala was in sublime form as he smashed a 47-ball 111. Captain Suryakumar Yadav, who won the toss, hit a 35-ball 75.

But it was Sanju magic throughout, as he clubbed 8 sixes and 11 boundaries. With a win, India will clinch the series 3-0, having posted impressive wins in Gwalior and Delhi.

India made only one change for the match, by including spinner Ravi Bishnoi in place of pacer Arshdeep Singh. The visitors made two -- Tanzid Tamim and Mahedi Hasan returning.
