Sanju Samson’s dominance in T20 World Cup 2026
One of the biggest stars of the T20 World Cup 2026 was wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson. He played fearless cricket and won the Player of the Tournament award. Samson scored 321 runs in five innings at an impressive average of 80.25 and an explosive strike rate of 199.37.
The Kerala star’s powerful batting included 27 fours and 24 massive sixes, which kept the bowlers under pressure in crucial matches throughout the tournament. Samson also achieved a special achievement during the event. He broke Virat Kohli’s previous record of scoring most runs by an Indian in a T20 World Cup edition. Kohli had achieved this feat during the T20 World Cup 2014, when the former captain had scored 319 runs.
