IND vs BAN 3rd T20I: ‘Kept it basic and wanted to take it a ball at a time’, says Sanju Samson

Hyderabad: Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson, who smashed an impressive 111 off Forty seven balls in India’s 133-run win over Bangladesh to complete a three-Zero series sweep, said his center of attention was once always to follow the fundamentals of batting and take it one ball at a time. Samson, who smashed eleven fours and eight sixes in his belligerent knock, also becomes the primary Indian wicketkeeper-batter to hit 100 in men’s T20Is for India.

“The dressing room energy from the boys out means a lot – they've loads of happiness for me and that I did well. Or not it is far ready to get frustrating knowing what you would do in the market, and I've also felt I am going to do much better.”

“But by playing so many games I do know one way to do something about pressure and my disasters because I've failed a lot. I just fascinated about the method and knew that I would do well. Playing for your us of a that pressure was once there but I wished to perform and wanted to reveal. But I still kept it basic and wanted to take it by one ball,” said Samson on getting the Player of the Match award.

Samson had a lean run since T20Is in Sri Lanka in July, where he bagged two ducks and didn’t do much within the primary two games against Bangladesh. At Hyderabad, Samson also became the 2nd-fastest India men’s batter on the back of Rohit Sharma to score a ton within the shortest format.

“The leadership tells me they back me whatever…now no longer just in words but in actions also. Last series I got two ducks and went back to Kerala thinking what would happen, but I’m here. My mentor tells me ‘You would love hit five sixes in an over, I’m awaiting that,’ I was once once chasing it and it took place in the intervening time,” he added.

Hardik Pandya, who was once adjudged the Player of the Series for his 118 runs, wickets and five catches within the series, lauded the team environment for giving him good space to execute his skills to the right.

“The sort of freedom the skipper and coach have given is fantastic for the total group. On the tip of the day within the event you would enjoy the sport you would get the utmost out of yourself. When the dressing room is enjoying every person’s success you feel like doing it more.”

“Body has been fantastic, God has been kind to always come up and lend a hand me out. The strategy continues, nothing changes, good days or bad days. I believed shots like my shot over cover within the last over don’t come often but once they come it gives loads of self belief.”

Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who also crossed the landmark for 50 T20I wickets, said he was once keen to make the foremost of the opportunities he gets. “Happy to reach this small milestone. Healthy competition is sweet pressure. I wasn’t under pressure but didn’t would desire to let go of the chance given tonight.”

“I knew Shanto would play reverse sweep early because he likes it. I spotted it before releasing it. Hyderabad is a troublesome wicket but it's possible you would well accept it as a bowler and find one way to be triumphant. Back home, I had a 50-day break so wanted to work on a few good things. You’ll get to peer it the more I play.”
