India's premier keeper-batter Sanju Samson sustained his torrid run in the ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka, as he was dismissed for a four-ball duck in the final game at Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy. 

As India had already won the series by securing convincing victories in the first two games, they decided to rest Rishabh Pant, providing Samson an opportunity to showcase his mettle. 

However, the Kerala-born cricketer couldn't live up to the expectations, being dismissed for a duck by Sri Lanka's right-arm seamer Chamindu Wickramasinghe.

As soon as Samson got out in the penultimate delivery of the third over, fans expressed their frustrations through tweets and memes on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). 

While some anticipated this outing as Samson's last in India colours, some handles mocked him for his inconsistency. 

Here are some best reactions:





After opting to bowl first, Sri Lanka had a great start to the game, with ace spinner Maheesh Theekshana dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal for ten runs. Samson departed for a duck, while Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav were dismissed by one and eight runs, respectively. 

As of writing, the visitors were tottering at 33/4 in 6.5 overs, with Shubman Gill and Shivam Dube batting on 12* and 1*, respectively.
