Sanju Samson Scores 13 Runs From A Single Ball in KCL: Sanju Samson’s tune-up for the Asia Cup is turning into something louder than rehearsal. In the Kerala Cricket League on Tuesday, the India wicketkeeper-batter bludgeoned 89 off 46 balls for Kochi Blue Tigers against Thrissur Titans, his second half-century on the bounce, following a thunderous Ton in the previous fixture when his team met Kollam Sailors.
Opening once more, Samson ripped into the new ball, clearing the ropes nine times and striking four boundaries. He reached his runs at a strike rate nearing 200, lifting his tournament aggregate to 223 at 74, and to the top of the competition’s run charts.
