IPL 2020: Sanju Samson took out the Chennai bowlers like skittles with a cannonball locked on to its target. Though the strikes were gigantic enough and looked brilliant, a few critics claimed that they crossed the threshold only because of the diminutive stature of the ground.
Though the specifics were still to come out, the tweets were relentless and tried their best in detracting the glam from Samson’s knocks. Here are the knocks on the ground.
A tweet before the game read, “This is small ground in UAE.
Sharjah cricket ground…
Expecting a huge total…
#RR
#CSK”
