When the moment is right, no force can hinder someone from reaching their greatest heights. A similar display was seen from Sanju Samson, who was in top form against Bangladesh at Hyderabad and hit five sixes in an over off Rishad Hossain igniting India’s celebration amid the festivities.

‌India got off to a rocky start, losing Abhishek Sharma early, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav then unleashed havoc thereafter propelling the score to 82/1 by the end of the powerplay. The onslaught didn’t stop there, as Samson fully capitalized on the flat Hyderabad pitch, scoring a stunning half-century off just 22 balls and catching everyone’s attention by hitting five sixes in one over.

The spectacle began when Rishad Hossain prepared to bowl the tenth over. After a dot ball on the first delivery, Samson set his sights on a maximum. On the next delivery, Hossain's leg break was no match for Samson, who cleared his front leg and launched the white ball over long off for a six. The following delivery was flighted on the off stump, and the Kerala star got underneath it, sending another six soaring into the stands over long off.

Hossain’s frustration was evident as he bowled a tossed-up delivery, which Samson smashed straight down the ground, landing near the sight screen. The packed Hyderabad crowd erupted in joy as he followed up with another maximum over deep mid-wicket. The final blow came on the last delivery of the over which was a well-placed ball on the stumps, but Samson maintained his momentum and clobbered it for yet another six. The excitement surrounding Samson was palpable, prompting the Twitterverse to light up with praise for his remarkable performance.
