Sanju Samson Breaks Records with Impressive Performance in T20 World Cup

His form was not very good before the World Cup, so he had to sit on the bench for the first few matches. However, he got a chance to play in the Super 8 round. He made the most of this opportunity. He scored three big half-centuries in a row. He was instrumental in India's World Cup victory with an unbeaten 97 against West Indies, 89 against England in the semi-final, and 89 against New Zealand in the final. Sanju Samson scored 321 runs in just 5 innings. He surpassed Virat Kohli's record of 319 runs in the list of Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in a T20 World Cup. He also set the record for most sixes in a World Cup. He hit 24 sixes in the T20 World Cup 2026.
