What is the highest T20I team score at Holkar Stadium, Indore?

India’s 260 for 5 against Sri Lanka on December 22, 2017 is the highest T20I total at the ground, and it came at a run rate of 13.00. Sri Lanka replied with 172 in 17.2 overs, and India won by 88 runs.

The innings was built almost entirely by two men. Rohit Sharma made 118 and KL Rahul added 89, so the pair scored 207 of the 260 runs between them. No other batter in that innings passed 28.

Nobody has come close to the mark since. South Africa made 227 for 3 against India in October 2022, which is 33 runs short. Both India’s 249 for 5 and West Indies’ 252 for 4 in Ranchi also fell short of 260.
