Samson became the second quickest Indian hitter to get a century in Twenty20 international matches when he scored 100 runs in only 40 balls against Bangladesh in the second T20I.
In Twenty20 Internationals, Rohit has the fastest century ever scored for India. In just 35 deliveries during his 118-run innings against Sri Lanka in December 2017, he reached the three-figure threshold.
In the tenth over of the Indian innings, Samson smashed five consecutive sixes off Bangladeshi spinner Rishad Hossain, becoming him the second Indian batsman after Yuvraj Singh to knock at least five sixes in an over in a Twenty20 international match.
On September 19, 2007, during the India-England Twenty20 International match in Durban, Yuvraj hit six sixes in one over.
