5 biggest Indian triumphs in T20 internationals

#2 India vs England 2012, Victory margin - 90 runs

In a relatively old match played at Colombo in the Group stage of the 2012 T20 World Cup, England won the toss and elected to field first. Surprisingly, Irfan Pathan came out to open the innings with Gautam Gambhir but the experiment did not work as the former got out at 8 runs off 8 balls.

The inning was then stabilized by Kohli (40) and Gambhir (45). After Gambhir got out, Virat stitched a partnership with Rohit (55), who accelerated the run scoring in slog overs with a strike rate of 166 to take the score to 170 in the stipulated 20 overs.

England were never really in the game as only three Englishmen got a two-digit score. Apart from Craig Kieswetter’s 35-run knock, no batsman created an impact big enough and they were bundled out for just 80 runs.

Veteran Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh shone through with 4 wickets, getting the Man of the Match. He was ably assisted by Irfan Pathan and Piyush Chawla who picked up two wickets each.
