Trinidad: Sanju Samson made a brilliant start in the third ODI against West Indies. The Malayali player started with a six on the second ball he faced. Sanju took a six in the same over as Yannick Kariya. He scored 15 runs in the first four balls faced. But had to survive an lbw review in the next over. Sanju then hit another six against Jayden Seals and a fourth six against Yannick. The Rajasthan Royals captain is at the crease with 51 runs off 39 balls so far. For the star to make 70 partnership with Shubman Gill. Both fours are in the account.
Sanju came to the crease in the fourth over after Ruturaj Gaekwad (8) got out. At the end of the match in Trinidad, he scored 223 runs for two in 31.3 overs. Ishan Kishan (77 off 64 balls) was the other player out. Kishan returned with a place in the elite list. Kishan became the sixth Indian player to score 50+ runs in every match of the three ODI series. Shreyas Iyer was the last Indian to achieve this feat in 2020. It was in the series against New Zealand.

The year before that, MS Dhoni also made it to the list after scoring half-centuries against Australia. Muhammad Azharuddin (1993 – Sri Lanka), Dilip Vengsarkar (1985 – Sri Lanka) and K Srikanth (1982 – Sri Lanka) are the other players who have achieved the feat.

Like in the second ODI, India fielded the test team today. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were rested for the second ODI in a row. Hardik Pandya is leading the team. Sanju Samson retained his place in the team. Moreover, India made both changes. Axar Patel and Umran Malik are out. Gaekwad and Jayadev Unadkhat are the replacements.
