Sanju Samson created history vs West Indies
\n\nSanju Samson created a rare world record during the fourth T20I between India and West Indies on Wednesday (October 14) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium as he hit a knock of 56 in just 23 balls during the Men in Blue's 24-run defeat, which ensured the series is level 2-2 going into the decider on Saturday (October 17) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
\n\nChasing 248, Samson gave India a dream start as they brought up 50 runs in just three overs, which is the quickest the Men in Blue have reached the milestone in an innings. Meanwhile, Samson completed his half-cenutry in 20 balls on the fourth ball of the fourth over (3.4 overs). Incredibly, Abhishek Sharma had only faced three deliveries at the time Samson was dismissed (4.1 overs).
\n\nSamson is the joint-quickest player in T20Is to complete a half-century, as per Cricbuzz. He has equalled a record held by Namibia's Jan Frylinck. The Indian cricket superstar has also become the first player in history to reach the milestone before the end of the fourth over from a Test-playing nation.
