Sanju Samson scripted history with a jaw-dropping power-hitting during the second T20I against Afghanistan at New Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. Launching a relentless assault alongside fellow opener Abhishek Sharma, the explosive batter raised his half-century in just 20 deliveries, marking his fastest fifty in the shortest format of international cricket.
He surpassed his record of a 22-ball fifty, which he notched against Bangladesh in Hyderabad back in 2024.
However, just when he was looking all guns blazing for an imminent ton, his knock was brought to a sudden halt on the final delivery of the powerplay. Attempting to clear the boundary once more off Rashid Khan, Samson was caught right on the rope by Mohammad Nabi, bringing a dramatic end to a brief yet historic blitz.
