Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019: 3 Indian records broken by Shreyas Iyer in one T20 innings

#1 Highest-ever third-wicket partnership in a T20 innings

Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav

While most of the credit goes to Shreyas Iyer for the way he batted today, it should not take away anything from Suryakumar Yadav's splendid knock of 63 from 33 balls. His effort was an equally shining example of great T20 innings. Yadav hit eight fours and two sixes and combined with Iyer for a glorious 213-run stand in just 82 balls for the third wicket.

The partnership has since been identified as the best-ever for the third wicket in any T20 game. They broke the record of 184 set by Alex Hales and AB de Villiers for the Rangpur Riders against the Dhaka Dynamites in the this year's Bangladesh Premier League.

Given below are the top-five third-wicket stands in T20 games:

1. Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav (Mumbai) 213 v Sikkim, Today.

2. Alex Hales and AB de Villiers (Riders) 184 v Dynamites, 2019 - BPL.

3. Ian Bell and AJ Hose (Bears) 171 v Northants, 2018 - Vitality Blast.
