Sanju Samson hit his maiden T20I hundred in India's record-breaking win over Bangladesh in Hyderabad on October 12. Samson hugged captain Suryakumar Yadav in an emotional moment on the field. Samson soaked in the applause from the packed Hyderabad crowd on Saturday.

Is Hyderabad T20I going to be remembered as a significant turning point in Sanju Samson's career? Having been an enigma in the T20I format, Samson finally arrived at the party, repaying the faith that the new team management showed in him.

Before this record-breaking performance, India's highest team score in a T20I match was 260 for five. This feat was achieved against Sri Lanka in Indore back in 2017. The new record set by the Indian team is a significant leap from their previous best, showcasing their growing prowess in the shortest format of cricket.
