Watch: The ball goes out of the ground as Sanju Samson smashes a 110-meter six in the 5th T20I vs. Zimbabwe
Sanju Samson, the vice captain of team India, smashed his second T20I half century through a 45-ball 58, while fast-bowler Mukesh Kumar picked up his career-best figures in the format through 4-22 as India beat Zimbabwe by 42 runs in the fifth and final game at the Harare Sports Club to win the series 4-1. Samson was at his best, hitting a boundary and four sixes in his knock while sharing a 65-run stand off 56 balls for the fourth wicket with Riyan Parag to bail India out of trouble after losing their top three batters in powerplay.
The wicketkeeper and batter slammed a 110-meter six during the game. It was so big that the ball went off the ground. Brandon Mavuta tossed up the ball outside off the stump, and Samson slammed it down the ground for the biggie.

While Samson scored a solid half-century, the quick cameo of 26 runs by Dube, along with some lofty hits at the end from Rinku Singh, took India to a competitive 167/6, as 30 runs came off the last two overs. In reply, Mukesh struck twice with the new ball, putting Zimbabwe in early trouble.
