IND vs ENG 1st T20: Sanju Samson displayed a remarkable piece of batting against England, smashing 22 runs in a single over bowled by Gus Atkinson during the 1st T20I at Eden Gardens. Chasing a target of 131 runs, Samson’s aggressive approach quickly turned the tide in India’s favor.

Atkinson bowled the third over, and Sanju Samson took full advantage of it. He started the over with back-to-back boundaries1. After a dot ball, Samson hit a six over the ropes. He finished the over with two more boundaries, racking up a total of 22 runs off Atkinson’s over.

Archer struck once more in the over as skipper Suryakumar Yadav departed without opening his score. Despite two back-to-back setbacks, team India is cruising towards their target as they score 63/2 during the field restrictions. Tilak Verma and Abhishek Sharma are currently at the crease for the home side.
