Delhi: A five-match T20 series is to be played between India and West Indies from Tuesday. During this time, Team India's star wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson will have a chance to create history. He can break the big records of former legendary batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina. For this he needs to score only 51 runs.

Sanju will break the record of Dhoni and Raina

Sanju can leave behind Dhoni and Raina in terms of scoring the most runs in T20 International for India.

So far in his career, he has scored 1567 runs in 72 matches at an average of 26.55 and strike rate of 156.23. If Sanju scores only 39 runs, he will leave Raina behind. Raina has 1605 runs in his name in 78 matches.

To leave Dhoni behind, Samson needs to score 51 runs. Dhoni has scored 1617 runs in 98 matches in his T20 International career. Sanju will have a golden opportunity to leave both the legendary players behind in this series. If Sanju performs better, he can overtake both the batsmen in terms of runs in the very first match.

Sanju's poor performance in Asian Games

Sanju was recently a part of the Indian team in the Asian Games. His performance during this period was very poor. Sanju had scored seven runs against Sri Lanka in the semi-finals. After this, his bat remained calm in the final also. He returned to the pavilion after scoring two runs. However, India won the gold medal by winning the final match. The Indian team will now expect better performance from Sanju in this series.
