Famous Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson showed remarkable class after India won the T20I series 3-0 against Bangladesh. On Saturday, October 12, at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Team India defeated Bangladesh by 133 runs in the third and final Twenty20 International.
A record-breaking total of 297/6, thanks to Samson’s first T20I century and Pandya’s brilliant late burst, guided the home team to victory. Bangladesh’s reaction fell considerably short of the target, managing only 164. But following the match, Pandya and Samson, two of Team India’s best cricket players, stopped to take photos with the Hyderabad stadium’s grounds crew.

As the first wicketkeeper-batter in Indian history to strike a century in a T20I, Sanju Samson
With a 111 off 47 balls, Sanju Samson, who had struggled as an opener in the previous two meetings, silenced his detractors. His T20I century made him the first wicketkeeper-batter to score a century in India. The player of the match went to the native of Kerela. But Pandya, who was still in excellent form, hammered 47 off just 18 deliveries to conclude the series with 118 runs, one wicket, five catches, and the Player of the Series trophy.
