Sanju Samson New record: Indian cricket team star wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has set a new record in T20 International cricket. He broke the record of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and achieved the distinction of becoming the Indian wicketkeeper who hit the most sixes. Samson has so far hit 55 sixes in 48 innings, while Dhoni had hit only 52 sixes in 85 innings. At number three in this list is Rishabh Pant, who has hit 44 sixes in 66 innings, while at number four is Ishaan Kishan, who hit 36 sixes in 32 innings.
Before the Asia Cup, Samson got a chance as an opener in the team. He also scored three centuries playing a brilliant partnership with Abhishek Sharma. But after Shubman Gill's return to the team, now Samson has to bat in the middle order. He was sent to number eight in the match against Bangladesh, but did not get the opportunity to bat.
In the super over match played against Sri Lanka recently, Samson scored 39 runs while batting at number 5. Many of his sixes in this innings were memorable for the audience. Especially Vanindu Hasranga's ball will always remain in people's minds on the site-screen sixes and a long shot against Dasun Shanaka. With the help of his aggressive and fast batting, India scored 202 for 5 wickets in 20 overs, pushing Sri Lanka to the verge of defeat.
This achievement of Sanju Samson includes him among India's most trusted and explosive wicketkeepers. His ability to hit continuously sixes, the ability to mold himself in different batting order and the art of pressure in big matches make him a very important player for the team. Now everyone's eyes are at the Asia Cup final 2025, where India will play against Pakistan. Samson's role in this big match can be decisive. His performance and record have made it clear that he is a bright future of Indian cricket and will always remain a match-player for Team India.
