Highest Twenty20 chases of all time

#3 India: 4/244 vs Windies at Lauderhill, 2016

India have been one of the most successful sides in the format and have also produced some of the finest exponents of the shortest version of the game. But their brand of cricket in T20s had always come under scrutiny for not being aggressive enough to match the globally soaring standards of rapid scoring. In Florida, the perception changed.

Batting first, Windies got off to a flyer, despite the absence of Gayle, it never felt like they lacked intensity as Evil Lewis (100 off 49) and Johnson Charles (79 off 33) ricocheted them to 6/245 in the first innings. Stuart Binny received the unfortunate treatment of being hammered for five sixes in an over by Lewis.

India then showed a side of theirs never seen before, even without their ace chasing batsman Virat Kohli contributing significantly, they gave the Windies a tough run for their money, Rohit Sharma (62 off 28) shed his typical habit of taking some time to get going and KL Rahul (110 off 51) lived up to his IPL generated hype. They particularly went after Windies' best, Sunil Narine, hitting him for 50 off his 3 overs.

MS Dhoni's struggled with the bat in the end, a relatively slow 43 off 25, meant that they fell short by a mere run in one of the most thrilling T20 encounters.

Slight footnote: The last Indian to get hit for five sixes in an over went ahead to repeat the feat, only a six better that time.
