Samson had a solid start to the T20I series, hitting a colossal century and becoming the first Indian to hit consecutive centuries in T20Is. However, a poor run of form followed with the keeper-batter registering consecutive ducks in the second and the third match of the series.

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to bat first in the series finale. Samson opened the innings alongside Abhishek Sharma, with the duo stitching together a 73-run opening partnership before Sharma was dismissed on the fifth delivery of the powerplay.

The Rajasthan Royals skipper was equally aggressive in the powerplay just like his counterpart. Tristan Stubbs was handed the responsibility of bowling the 10th of the batting inning and on the very first delivery, the Rajasthan Royals skipper hit a huge maximum to get to his half-century in 28 balls.

Take a look at the shot below:
