Fans can expect the best of the best when India and New Zealand battle it out for the title at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad at 7 PM.

Even with more predictions that India will have the upper hand, New Zealand cannot be written off. It can be said that Sanju Samson’s batting ability will be decisive for India. Sanju Samson has been seen as India’s hero in the last two matches. The fans are expecting the same to be repeated in the final against New Zealand.

Sanju, not Abhishek, is the batting backbone of Team India

If Sanju Samson shines in the final, Sanju Samson will be able to set some huge records in his own name. Let’s check what it is. Sanju has a chance to break the record for the highest score by an Indian in a T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli has beaten this record with 319 runs. Sanju Samson currently has 232 runs. It remains to be seen if the Malayalee player will be able to break this record through Fennel.
Sanju also has a chance to break the record of the highest score in the final of the T20 World Cup. Marlon Samuels and Kane Williamson who scored 85 runs are the leaders in this record. Sanju has a chance to overcome this. Whether this is possible remains to be seen.

Let’s see if Sanju can overcome this. No Indian has scored a century in a T20 World Cup knockout. Sanju Samson has missed a century in the last two matches. Fans hope that this can be achieved in the final. Undoubtedly, Sanju deserved the century.
