Delhi: Indian team’s wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson will be seen playing in the upcoming T20I series against England. The first match of this series will be played on 22 January at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Samson has a big chance in this match—he can break the record of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Opportunity to break Dhoni’s record
Sanju Samson has attracted everyone’s attention with his batting in recent times. After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20 Internationals, Samson cemented his place as India’s opening batsman. Samson recently left his mark by scoring two centuries against South Africa.
Samson has 46 sixes in T20 International
Now Samson has a special opportunity in the first T20 match against England. He is close to becoming the player who has hit the most sixes for India in T20 International. Dhoni has hit 52 sixes, while Samson has 46 sixes in his name. If Samson breaks Dhoni’s record, he will become the 10th player from India to complete 50 sixes in T20 International.
Sanju Samson has entered in the Top 10 list of most sixes in T20I career for India and it just took him 33 innings to do that now think they wasted so many years of Sanju to give chances to player like Pant #SanjuSamson pic.twitter.com/xKOtk44NaD
