Ishan Kishan's Century Shines, Sanju Samson Struggles in T20 World Cup Warm-up

  • Ishan Kishan scored a blistering 103 off 43 balls, including 6 fours and 10 sixes, in the final T20I against New Zealand.
  • Kishan's performance puts pressure on selectors for the upcoming T20 World Cup, especially with Sanju Samson's continued poor form.
  • Sanju Samson, despite being a talented wicketkeeper-batter, has struggled to secure a consistent spot in the Indian team.
  • Kishan achieved his maiden T20I hundred in just 42 deliveries, becoming the seventh Indian to score a T20I century.
  • He also became the second Indian after Rohit Sharma to have a double century in ODIs and a century in T20Is.

Why It Matters: Ishan Kishan's explosive century strengthens his T20 World Cup claim, while Sanju Samson's struggles persist.
