**Hyderabad:** Sanju Samson lit up the fourth day of the second-round Duleep Trophy match with a blistering knock of 40 off 45 balls, injecting life into India D’s daunting chase of 488 against India A.

Samson, the Rajasthan Royals captain, walked in at number six with his side struggling at 156/5, still needing 332 runs to win. The right-handed batter immediately took charge, smashing boundaries and sixes with effortless power.
