One half century in last 12 innings
Sanju Samson has scored only one half-century in the last 12 T20 innings. During this period, the best score of this player has been 39 runs. He has not been able to touch double figures thrice. The interesting thing here is that along with Sanju Samson, Team India has given a chance to Ishan Kishan for the T20 World Cup. If Sanju Samson continues to fail like this and Ishan Kishan does something amazing, then it will be difficult for this player to make a place in the playing eleven of the T20 World Cup. However, Ishan Kishan also failed in the first match of his comeback. This player also scored only 8 runs, his wicket was taken by Jacob Duffy.
Abhishek Sharma’s half century
Sanju Samson may have failed but his opening partner Abhishek Sharma scored a brilliant half-century. This player scored a half-century in 22 balls. Sharma completed his half-century with the help of 4 sixes and 3 fours. In this innings, Abhishek Sharma even left Yuvraj Singh behind in terms of sixes.
