Sanju Samson's Explosive 22: Opportunity Seized or Missed Against Namibia?
- •Sanju Samson scored a quickfire 22 runs off 8 balls in his first T20 World Cup match against Namibia.
- •His innings sparked debate among fans and analysts: some saw it as fulfilling team's need for quick runs, others as a missed opportunity for a bigger score.
- •Samson got the chance due to opener Abhishek Sharma's illness, making it a crucial moment to prove his worth after being sidelined by Ishan Kishan.
- •He started aggressively, hitting three sixes and a four, scoring 21 runs off 7 balls before being caught out on a slow ball.
- •Despite the positive intent, critics argue he should have scored more against Namibia, especially as Ishan Kishan later hit a fifty, likely pushing Samson back to the bench.
