Scoring a century in T20 cricket is an achievement, given the format’s limited 20 overs. But one Indian batter went beyond imagination, smashing a triple century in a single T20 innings, shocking the cricketing world. His record still stands as one of the most remarkable feats in the sport.

T20 matches usually see teams scoring between 150–200 runs collectively. Exceptional batting can push the total to 250, and if a team crosses 300, it’s considered extraordinary. But on February 7, 2017, a lone Indian batter, Mohit Ahlawat, scored 300 runs in a local T20 tournament in Delhi, proving the impossible can happen.

In a match between Mavi Eleven and Friends Eleven, Mohit unleashed a storm on the bowlers, hitting 39 sixes and 14 fours in just 72 balls. His strike rate exceeded 400, leaving the opposition helpless. Before Mohit, no player in T20 history had ever hit 39 sixes in a single innings. Remarkably, he achieved this feat at just 21 years of age.

• Mohit’s innings is celebrated online, with the scorecard often going viral on social media.




• His destructive performance demonstrated power-hitting at its peak, a rare spectacle even in international T20 cricket.




• The bowlers were virtually begging for mercy, unable to contain his onslaught.

This legendary performance remains a benchmark in T20 cricket, inspiring young cricketers to push the limits of power-hitting and strike rate.
