New Delhi. Indian team opener Sanju Samson failed to score big in the fifth T20 match against England. He was dismissed for just 16 runs but joined the special list of former T20 captain Rohit Sharma and Rajasthan Royals fellow Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Samson became the third Indian to hit a six on the first ball of the T20 match by hitting a six off the first ball against Archer.

Sanju Samson, who came out to start the innings for India, hit Jofra Archer on the first ball on the first ball. In the last 4 matches of the series with his bouncer, this bowler, who made Sanju Samson in trouble, found it expensive to put a bouncer on the first ball in Mumbai. Samson retreated and crossed and sent the ball to a flat six over deep mid-wicket. Rohit did this feat against English spinner Adil Rashid at Narendra Modi Stadium in 2021, while Jaiswal did this against Sikander Raza in Harare last year.
