Greenfield International Stadium: India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan said the team is eager to see Sanju Samson deliver a strong performance in front of his home crowd as the hosts gear up for the fifth T20I against New Zealand at the Greenfield International Stadium on Saturday

Samson comes into the game on the back of a lean run and he will be eager to break it when playing his first international game in his hometown. “Hundred percent. We got here, he arranged us with a beautiful dinner, very good vibe and it was done with all his heart and we were all there.

“We had a lot of fun and this is a special crowd for him, special ground for him and we all just want him to perform very well today,” said Kishan to broadcasters ahead of the start of India’s innings.
