Samson, having opted to bat, strode out in just the second over of the game, with Evin Lewis (6) holed out to deep backward square leg off Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He first put on a 56-run stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal (36), and once Liam Livingstone was dismissed early, he took it upon himself to guide his team to safety.
Once set, the right-hander unleashed some audacious strokes, one of which was a leading-edge that sailed over the ropes down the ground. His 57-ball stay included seven fours and three sixes and took him past Shikhar Dhawan to become the season’s highest run-getter.
Enjoy the Six
