[WATCH]- Sanju Samson Takes On Ben Shikongo With Consecutive Sixes In IND vs NAM

Sanju Samson gave India a flying start in their T20 World Cup match against Namibia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday, February 12. Playing his first-ever T20 World Cup game, the right-hander opened his account with a six and then hit Ben Shikongo for two sixes in a row in the next over.

Samson showed his power in the second over of India’s innings. Shikongo bowled a short ball, and Samson flicked it over backward square leg for a six into the stands. The bowler tried a similar delivery again, but Samson sent it even further for another big six. He then hit a four, but was dismissed on the last ball of the over.
