Ahmedabad, March 8 -- Indian batter Sanju Samson scripted perhaps the most important knock of his redemption arc, scoring a brilliant 89 during the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, registering the highest individual score in a T20 World Cup final.
