Stunned Ravi Shastri, Baffled Others Witness as Sanju Samson Smashes Incredible Backfoot Six Over Extra Cover

Opening the innings for the Indian team, Samson made the most of the batting-friendly conditions by setting the tone early on. Even after India lost Abhishek Sharma early on, Samson continued to put the pressure on Bangladesh's bowlers with his aggressive and impressive stroke play. From the very first over, he displayed a range of shots with impeccable timing, keeping the scoreboard moving forward quickly.

One particular shot in the 8th over stood out, leaving both spectators and commentators in awe. Facing Mustafizur Rahman, who bowled a back-of-length delivery outside off, Samson went deep in his crease and effortlessly dispatched the ball over covers for a towering six. It was a shot that showcased not only his power but also his technique, making it clear that Samson was in the mood to produce something special.

The real carnage began when Samson reached his half-century in just 22 balls. He then tore into the Bangladesh bowlers, particularly in the 10th over bowled by Rishad Hossain. Samson hammered five consecutive sixes, leaving the opposition rattled and putting India firmly in control. His rapid acceleration ensured that he would convert his blistering fifty into a milestone hundred.

Samson's century, which came off just 40 balls, was the second-fastest by an Indian in T20Is. He ended his sensational innings with 111 runs off 47 deliveries, boasting a strike rate of 236.14. His innings was studded with 11 boundaries and 8 enormous sixes, as he dominated the Bangladesh attack with his remarkable power-hitting.

Thanks to Samson's heroics, India posted a mammoth total of 297/6, their second-highest score in T20I history. The keeper-batter's match-winning performance ensured India ended the series on a high, registering a 3-0 clean sweep.
