It feels like early Diwali at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, as Sanju Samson lights up the field with his bat, sending the Bangladesh bowlers’ deliveries out of the park. After two lackluster games in this T20I series, this time was different. Samson’s explosive innings of 111 runs was enough to impress everyone, from fans to big names, who showered him with praise after witnessing his spectacular batting. Check out the Twitter reactions that showcase the wonder Samson created in Hyderabad.
Record-Breaking Day at Hyderabad!
What we witnessed in this remarkable T20I game was nothing short of extraordinary. From Sanju Samson hitting five sixes in one over to his 40-ball century, which made him the second Indian to score the fastest T20I hundred, all of this happened in Hyderabad. Apart from the Sanju triumph, India reached the joint-highest PowerPlay score in T20Is, posting 82 runs for the loss of one wicket. Also, India set a record for their highest team total in T20Is, amassing an incredible 297 runs for the loss of six wickets. This score is the second-highest in the history of the shorter format of cricket.
