When Hardik Pandya's Team India faced the West Indies in the fifth and final T20I of the series on Sunday, Sanju Samson was heavily anticipated. Following his poor performance against the West Indies, wicketkeeper-batsman Samson was extensively trolled on social media, competing with the likes of Ishan Kishan and Tilak Verma for a position in India's batting order during the World Cup year.
Sunday's series deciding match saw Tema India's second-string team post a below-par total. Akeal Hosein's left-arm spin triggered a batting collapse, which led to Romario Shepherd's 4-31. Samson, who has been Team India's wicketkeeper since the third T20I, failed again with the bat against the Men from the Caribbean.

The Indian wicketkeeper-batsman was dismissed for 13 off 9 deliveries to end a disastrous away tour. Several Twitter users commented on Samson's terrible batting performance against the West Indies in the Twenty20 International series. In the five-game series, Samson averaged 10.67 runs per game but scored only 32 runs in three innings.
Samson completes 6,000 runs in T20
Despite failing with the bat against the West Indies in the fifth T20 International, Samson accomplished a remarkable feat. The captain of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) joined MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma in reaching 6,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket. Since his début against Zimbabwe in 2015, the 28-year-old has participated in 21 Twenty20 Internationals for India.
While Samson had a forgettable day at work, Indian vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav strengthened his selection case against the West Indies with a scintillating knock. The Indian team's No. 3 batsman scored 61 runs in 45 deliveries. India scored 165-9 in 20 overs, courtesy of Suryakumar's blistering innings. However, despite Suryakumar's exploits, India lost the series-deciding match.
Brandon King remained unbeaten on 85 (55), while ex-captain Nicholas Pooran contributed an entertaining 47-run knock as the hosts completed the run chase in just 18 overs. With the victory, the West Indies clinched the five-match series at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground by a score of 3-2.
