Samson's blitz against Afg keeps Sooryavanshi waiting - and the debate alive

New Delhi: Mohammad Nabi moved to his left, leaped ever so slightly at the long-off boundary rope, got his hands underneath the leather and held on. A few inches more and the ball would have possibly evaded him for a six. Instead, he gestured 'out' to the umpire and a probing Rashid Khan. The Afghanistan spinner checked if the foot was planted safely and comfortably inside the field of play. The moment he got the nod, the 27-year-old went on to celebrate his second wicket of the over. Sanju Samson walked back after scoring 57 runs from 22 balls, hitting seven fours and four sixes along the way.As far as rubber stamping their places go, this was Samson's attempt - with 52 of his 57 runs coming in boundaries.
