The final T20I between India and New Zealand had the Blackcaps being well on their way to chase India's total down but in the end, the Kiwis somehow fell short of victory by just 7 runs. The root of India's fifth T20I victory could very well be traced back to the 8th over of the Kiwi chase. Sanju Samson, finally getting a chance in the Indian team, made an incredible effort on the boundary rope to prevent what seemed like a certain six from Ross Taylor. Taylor went on to make 53 off 47 deliveries but could have made even more, had Samson not exhibited his impressive agility.
