After scoring twin centuries in the T20I series Vs South Africa, a lot was expected of Sanju Samson in the 5-game series Vs England. However, three matches have gone by and the Indian batters continues to frustrate the fans with a string of low scores. The trend continued in the ongoing Rajkot T20I match as well.

England were put into bat and they posted a decent 171/9 on the board as India had an easy target in front of them. However, England bowlers came out with a plan and they executed it to perfection against Sanju Samson. The English bowlers had all the fielders on the leg side and tried peppering him with bouncers.

The Indian opener looked scratchy in front of the English bowlers and their plan did wonders as Jofra Archer dugged one short and Samson failed to clear the edge of the circle as the fielder at mid-on took a simple catch. 

The Indian opener looked frustrated as he vent out his frustration and punched his bat in anger while going back to the dugout.

Chakravarthy's fifer derails England's momentum

Varun Chakravarthy was the man for India in the 3rd T20I as he ran riot and dismantled the England batters with his guile and skill.

England lost Phul Salt early in the innings, but Ben Duckett and Jos Buttler led the charge against Indian bowlers. However, Chakravarthy's introduction changed the course of the match. He picked up wickets at regular intervals and shattered the England batters to scalp a fifer in the contest as England could only post 171 on the board.
