Sanju Samson T20I Records at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium
Sanju Samson returns to the Chinnaswamy story as an India wicketkeeper-batter whose only recorded men’s T20I appearance at this venue came in the extraordinary Afghanistan decider of January 2024. His batting entry was brief and difficult, but his keeping still contributed two decisive dismissals during a match settled across two Super Overs. With India's West Indies series finale scheduled here on 17 October 2026, Samson's value is likely to depend on selection, match situation and the balance India want between wicketkeeping and batting options. See the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium overview for venue context.

Samson's Chinnaswamy record is one completed T20I appearance, one runless ball faced and no bowling. The venue's clearest positive is his keeping: a sharp stumping and a run-out in India's dramatic tie-break win over Afghanistan. His batting sample is too small for broader conclusions.
Batting
Sanju Samson T20I batting stats at Chinnaswamy
At this venue, Samson has one completed-match batting innings: 0 from 1 ball against Afghanistan on 17 January 2024, dismissed in the powerplay. That leaves him with 0 runs from 1 ball, with no fours or sixes and no not-out innings in the verified Chinnaswamy sample. There is no separate 2022 no-result batting entry for Samson in the supplied records, so nothing from that abandoned South Africa match is added to his aggregates.

Bowling
Sanju Samson T20I bowling record at Chinnaswamy
Samson has no recorded bowling innings at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and should be assessed here as a wicketkeeper-batter, not a bowling option. His meaningful contribution in the Afghanistan match came behind the stumps: he completed the stumping of Ibrahim Zadran and was credited with the run-out of Karim Janat. Those are fielding dismissals, not bowler wickets, and are kept separate from bowling figures.

PitchVaani perspective
What Sanju Samson’s venue record tells us
The honest read is mixed. Samson's only venue innings was a difficult outing, ending for a duck before he could settle on a surface that produced early wickets. The stronger evidence is his keeping: anticipation and execution down the leg side produced Ibrahim Zadran's stumping, while his involvement in Karim Janat's run-out added another pressure moment. That combination gives him a credible selection case, but not a batting record to oversell.

Why this contribution mattered
Samson was dismissed for 0 from 1 ball against Afghanistan, but contributed behind the stumps. He completed Ibrahim Zadran’s stumping and was credited in Karim Janat’s run-out during the two-Super-Over thriller.
The positive highlight is wicketkeeping and fielding;these dismissals are not bowler wickets or a batting achievement.
Sanju Samson: fifth-T20I match outlook
PitchVaani’s conditional editorial prediction
If selected, Samson’s keeping could add value. His batting opportunity will depend on the chosen role and order. Selection, fitness and the match situation will shape the opportunity.
Behind the stumps
Watch keeping execution and involvement in dismissals.
With the bat
Judge a fresh opportunity on its own merits;one venue duck cannot predict it.

Squad and selection note ·16 October 2026
Selection and availability — checked 16 October 2026: The BCCI's 16 October 2026 advisory lists Samson in India's updated squad for the Bengaluru T20I, but a squad listing does not confirm the final XI or his batting position. No Samson-specific injury is reported in that advisory. Arshdeep Singh has a bowling-shoulder blow and a participation decision pending recovery; Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been added to the squad as additional bowling cover. BCCI squad update.
