Watch: Sanju Samson’s gorgeous six against South Africa in 1st ODI

By: Sports DeskOctober 6, 2022 9:58:58 pm

Sanju Samson showed his class when he lofted a Tabraiz Shamsi delivery into the crowd for a monstrous six in the 1st ODI between India and south Africa in Lucknow on Thursday.

In the last ball of the 19th over, Samson got close to the flighted delivery by Shamsi and hit the ball over mid-wicket. He gets excellent timing on the shot which helps it go all the way.

After being left out of the T20 World Cup squad, this shot will give Samson a boost in confidence. Since last year’s T20 World Cup, Samson (158.40) has the second best strike rate for any Indian batter in T20Is after Suryakumar Yadav.
