Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson is all set to live up to the expectations of his fans in the Asia Cup 2025. The Indian team will kick off their campaign against UAE on September 10, 2025, and all eyes will be on Sanju Samson in this match.
Sports News: All eyes will be on Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson in the Asia Cup 2025. Both the selectors and the fans are expecting a big innings from him. Sanju has been in excellent form for some time now, and if he gets a place in the playing eleven, he can create a big bang with the bat. The special thing is that Sanju Samson has a great opportunity to create a unique record in this tournament.
If he hits 10 sixes in the Asia Cup 2025, he will surpass three legendary Indian players: MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Shikhar Dhawan. Along with this, he will reach the eighth position in the list of batsmen with the most sixes for India in T20 Internationals.
Sanju Samson's T20I Sixes Record
Sanju Samson has so far hit a total of 49 sixes in 38 innings across 42 matches for India. If he hits just one more six in the Asia Cup 2025, he will reach the milestone of 50 sixes in T20 International cricket. He will be only the tenth Indian batsman to do so. Along with this achievement, Sanju has another opportunity.
If he hits 10 more sixes in this tournament, he will surpass legendary Indian batsmen MS Dhoni (52 sixes), Suresh Raina (58 sixes), and Shikhar Dhawan (50 sixes). Currently, the list of batsmen with the most sixes in T20I for India is as follows:
- Rohit Sharma – 205 sixes
- Suryakumar Yadav – 146 sixes
- Virat Kohli – 124 sixes
- KL Rahul – 99 sixes
- Hardik Pandya – 95 sixes
- Yuvraj Singh – 74 sixes
- Suresh Raina – 58 sixes
- MS Dhoni – 52 sixes
- Shikhar Dhawan – 50 sixes
Sanju Samson can reach the eighth position in this list and if his current form continues, he can reach greater heights in the future. The world record for the most sixes in T20I cricket is held by Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Hitman Rohit has hit 205 sixes in 151 innings across 159 matches. He is the only batsman in the world to have hit over 200 sixes in T20I.
It is both a challenge and an inspiration for Sanju Samson to climb higher in this list in the future. Sanju Samson's role will be very important in a big tournament like the Asia Cup.
