T20 World Cup 2026: Sanju Samson got a golden chance in the T20 World Cup 2026 after Abhishek Sharma fell ill. This player joined the playing eleven against Namibia but Samson lost this opportunity too. Sanju Samson was out after scoring just 22 runs against Namibia. The big thing is that Sanju Samson made a stormy start, he scored all his runs from the boundary but after that he played a bad shot and found his way to the pavilion.

Sanju Samson's bad shot

Sanju Samson opened his account by hitting a six on the fourth ball. After this, in the second over, he hit two sixes and a four in the over of fast bowler Ben Shikonko and then in the same over, he got out after playing a half-hearted shot on the fifth ball. The ball on which Samson was out hit the middle of his bat but he did not apply any power, as a result the player standing at mid-wicket took an easy catch.
