THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: All eyes will once again be on hometown hero Sanju Samson as Team India looks to sign off the five-match T20I series on a winning note against New Zealand at the Greenfield Stadium here on Saturday.
The 31-year-old has struggled to get a big score during the ongoing series. Samson, who returned to the opening role after Shubman Gill was axed from the team, has been able to score just 40 runs in four innings against the Black Caps.
Meanwhile, after winning the series by clinching the first three matches, India were in experimental mode in the fourth T20I played at Vizag on Wednesday. They played an extra bowler in place of Ishan Kishan.
After being put in to bat first, New Zealand put on a mammoth total of 215 runs, with Tim Seifert and Devon Conway playing brilliant knocks. India struggled from the start in the chase as the visitors took early wickets, and despite Shivam Dube’s valiant knock of 65 runs, India lost by 50 runs.
