Now the same trend reached Hyderabad also, where in the last match of the series, India scored runs even after losing the first wicket early. Opener Sanju Samson was the star of this attacking style, who took revenge from a Bangladeshi bowler for his failure in the last match and hit him for 5 consecutive fours. During this, Sanju made a special record by scoring a half-century in just 22 balls.

Took revenge by scoring 5 consecutive fours

India and Bangladesh were face to face in the third and last match of the series on Saturday 12 October in Hyderabad. Team India, which has already won the series, decided to bat first in this match. In the last match, Team India's top-order had failed miserably, which included Sanju Samson. He was dismissed early by Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed in the second T20 match. In the third T20 match, Sanju gave a befitting reply and thrashed Taskin Ahmed badly.

Sanju was on strike in front of Taskin who came to bowl in the second over. Sanju played shots on his first and second balls but both times the ball went straight into the fielder's hand and no runs were scored. Taskin's efforts lasted only till now because after that Sanju hit fours. Sanju equalized his account by hitting 4 sharp fours on the next four balls of the over. He did not stop here and the next time when both of them faced each other, Sanju again sent the very first ball for a four. In this way Sanju hit 5 fours on 5 consecutive balls of Taskin.

Sanju's attack was not limited to Taskin only and within some time he targeted leg spinner Rishad Hossain. In the seventh over, he hit fours on the first and second balls of Rishad and then sent the third ball for a six. With this, Sanju scored the third half-century of his T20 International career in just 22 balls. Not only this, it also became a new record for the fastest half-century by India in T20 against Bangladesh.
