Sanju Samson's Quick Exit Leaves India in a T20I Jam
Yo, listen up! In the first game of the T20I series, Sanju Samson was lookin' fly with two quick fours but got caught slippin' by Kyle Jamieson, takin' a stroll back for just 10 runs. India was chillin' at 18/1 when he bounced, and Ishan Kishan couldn't find his groove either, leavin' the squad at 54/2 after five overs. New Zealand's captain, Mitchell Santner, played it cool by electin' to field first, ya dig?
