Handling the final overs well in both innings gave us the edge. Sanju Samson\u2019s calm presence at the crease was wonderful to watch. That kind of presence lifts a side. Brilliant effort from everyone. On to the semi-finals,\u201d Tendulkar wrote on X, underlining the magnitude of Samson\u2019s innings in a high-pressure virtual quarterfinal at Eden Gardens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Samson\u2019s knock, which came in pursuit of a daunting 196-run target, anchored India\u2019s highest successful chase in T20 World Cup history and ensured their progression to face England in the semifinal. His poise under pressure drew admiration from across the cricketing fraternity, including former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who praised his readiness and belief.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cNot many opportunities this #WorldCup, but when it mattered, Sanju stood tall and played the innings of his life ",
