Fans on Twitter reacted after keeper batter Sanju Samson topped the charts for most sixes in ODIs this year for India. They expressed their disappointment with the batter not getting regular chances in the side and wondered he would’ve hit more sixes had he played full-time.
Sanju Samson records most sixes in ODIs this year for India
Sanju Samson’s international career has been a roller coaster ride. The keeper batter has been in and out of the Indian side. After his debut, he was dropped from the team for his inconsistent performances. However since he made his comeback, he cashed in almost every opportunity and has performed regularly.
Samson has looked phenomenal with the bat in the recent past in ODIs. The wicketkeeper has been exceptional and batted with maturity in whatever opportunities he has got and has performed consistently.
In the last series against South Africa, Sanju batted staggeringly well as he scored 146 runs in three games and won games for his side. Many have lauded him for his performances and highlighted the responsible innings he has played of late.
Sanju Samson has hit most sixes in ODIs this year for India.

In the most recent first ODI against New Zealand, Samson played another handy knock as he scored 36 runs and helped his side post a decent total on the board. In 10 matches that he has played this year, the right-hander has scored 284 runs at an average of 71.00.
Also, he has recorded the most sixes in ODIs this year for India. Samson has hit 14 maximums and the number is only expected to rise since he is likely to play the next two games against New Zealand as well.

Very good, but he has to do something extraordinary in this series and in 2023 to get a break into the Indian team. 40s-50s will not do anymore.
