Sanju Samson, who slammed two centuries in South Africa, has looked torrid with the bat in the ongoing T20I series against the England National Cricket Team. With the kind of form he was in, it was expected that he would set the stage on fire in the series but that hasn't been the case.

Sanju Samson has been troubled by the sheer pace of the Jofra Archer and Mark Wood in the series. The short ball has brought his downfall and it was again the case in the ongoing third T20I against the England National Cricket Team as India were set a target of 172 runs.

Jofra Archer deployed the short ball ploy once again as he bowled into the body of Sanju Samson. The India National Cricket Team batter looked to heave it away over mid-wicket and was rushed by the pace of the ball. There was no room as he spliced it towards mid-on, where Adil Rashid took a simple catch.

Sanju Samson ended with an innings of 3 runs off 6 balls. With his wicket, India National Cricket Team lost their first wicket for 16 runs. The batter looked furious with the way he got out and was seen punching himself as he walked out of the park.

Sanju Samson scored 26 runs in the first game and then followed it up with a score of 5 in the second innings. The keeper-batter will now be under pressure to score some runs in the last two games of the series, especially with a lot of players still on the bench.

Sanju Samson now would be keen to make a comeback in the last two games. Coming to the match, India National Cricket Team was under massive pressure as after the wicket of Samson, they lost wickets in clusters and were left reeling at 68/4.
