Team India suffered a 56-run defeat in the fifth T20I on Saturday, July 11, handing England a 4-0 series victory. The Men in Blue also lost the No. 1 spot in the ICC Men's T20I rankings. Opening alongside Abhishek Sharma, Samson scored 27 runs, but the visitors failed to chase down England's target of 258.
"We needed to try the best combination that would be perfect in these conditions. And we also wanted a right-hander to go on with Abhishek (Sharma). So, that was one of the major reasons. And if you see, I was the only one out of all the left-handers who was a right-hander.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi featured in the previous three T20Is and showed glimpses of his attacking ability. The 15-year-old scored 14 off 10 on debut before making 13 off five and 15 off nine in the next two matches.

Shreyas Iyer admitted that India struggled to adapt to different conditions throughout the series. He said that constant travel between venues made it difficult to adjust quickly, but also acknowledged that England performed better in every department.
The defeat in Southampton extended India's winless run to six T20Is under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy. The run includes a 2-0 series defeat to Ireland and has increased criticism over the team's inconsistent batting, poor fielding, and frequent changes to the playing XI.
"It Definitely Hurts"- Shreyas Iyer on series lost against England
"It definitely hurts. But I feel that it's a great learning for me as a captain and also for other players who have played here for the first time. And when I say great learning, it's all about how you turn up for the tournament. You can't just have that mindset that you will come to England and you will win the series."
"You need to work hard, you need to be focused, which we were as a team. But I personally feel that they played exceptional cricket throughout in all three departments. So, probably, you see, the results also went in their favour because they were comprehensive in all three departments."
