Sanju Samson IND vs NZ 5th T20: A 5-match T20 series is being played between India and New Zealand. India had already captured the series by winning the first three matches, but in the fourth T20, the Kiwis made a strong comeback and defeated India by 50 runs. Now the last and fifth match of the series will be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, which is going to be memorable for Team India's wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson.

Special match for Sanju Samson

This series has been disappointing for Sanju Samson so far. He has not performed well in the matches so far and is in dire need of getting back in form. This last match can prove to be a big opportunity for him, because he will play an international match for the first time on his home ground. This stadium of Thiruvananthapuram is like home for him, where he has been playing since childhood and now he will take the field in India's jersey.

The excitement about this match is at its peak. According to reports, around 55,000 fans will come to watch the match around the capacity of Greenfield International Stadium, because all the tickets have been sold. This huge crowd of fans is believed to support Sanju Samson. Cricket fans in Kerala are desperate to see their local hero playing on home ground, and the atmosphere at the stadium is expected to be electrifying.

Sanju Samson has last chance

Sanju Samson has been able to score only 40 runs in 4 innings so far in this series. He had scored 10 runs in the first match. Whereas, in the second match only 6 runs came from his bat. In the third match, he could not even open his account and returned to the pavilion on the first ball of the innings. After this, in the fourth match he tried to make a comeback by scoring 24 runs. Now the 5th match of the series will be their last chance before the T20 World Cup, because after this Team India does not have to play any series.
