Key Questions Answered
Sanju Samson stated that as a professional cricketer playing for India, he takes care of his preparation and training while acknowledging that results in T20Is are not always in a player's hands. He added that he takes full responsibility and blames himself rather than anyone else for not scoring runs.
Sanju Samson scored a quickfire half-century, reaching his fifty in just 21 deliveries and finishing with 82 runs off 41 balls, which included nine boundaries and four sixes. Despite his explosive knock, his half-century went in vain as the West Indies chased down the target of 250 with six wickets and nine balls to spare.
Questions over Samson's place in the team arose after he endured four successive low scores, failing to make an impact in the one-off T20I against Japan, at the Asian Games, and in the series opener against the West Indies. This pressure was further intensified with talented youngsters like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi waiting on the bench.
