NEW DELHI: India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson expressed heartfelt gratitude after playing a key role in India’s successful campaign at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, saying the moment felt like the realisation of a long-cherished dream that he once believed had slipped away. Samson scripted a remarkable comeback during the recently concluded tournament, battling inconsistency and spells on the bench to emerge as India’s leading run-scorer. He delivered crucial performances when it mattered most, producing a string of half-centuries from the virtual quarterfinal against West Indies cricket team to the title clash against New Zealand national cricket team.
The keeper-batter was also adjudged Player of the Tournament for his consistency, amassing 321 runs in five innings at an average of 80. 25 and a strike rate of 199. 37.
His tally included 27 fours and 24 sixes, and he finished as the third-highest run-getter in the tournament. He also surpassed Virat Kohli’s tally of 319 runs in the 2014 edition to register the most runs by an Indian in a single T20 World Cup. Speaking in a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Samson admitted that he had always dreamed of achieving such a milestone for the country but never imagined it would unfold the way it eventually did.
