    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kochi, June 12:<\/strong>&nbsp;India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has said M.S. Dhoni&#39;s calming influence in the middle, even in tough situations, is something he would like to inculcate going ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Samson has been in and out of the Indian team in the recent times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;MS Dhoni&#39;s calmness and focus in tough situations is something that I would like to inculcate in my game as well and be calmer and more focussed while batting,&quot; the 25-year-old told TimesofIndia.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Samson said legendary Australian stumper batsman Adam Gilchrist and Dhoni changed the definition of a modern-day wicketkeeper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Wicket-keepers today are all top batsmen as well. You look around the world, most of the &#39;keepers are very good batsmen. Adam Gilchrist changed the game for &#39;keepers coming up the order, MS Dhoni has done likewise in the middle order,&quot; said Samson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is now almost a norm to have a wicketkeeper who is a very good top or middle-order batsman, as it helps the team addan extra bowler or all-rounder in the team.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently confirmed interim changes to its playing regulations, which include the ban on the use of saliva to shine the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Samson opined the job of a &#39;keeper may become a little bit easier with the interim rule change to stop the spread of coronavirus.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Maybe it will (become less difficult to keep wickets). It also depends a lot on the conditions we&#39;re playing in. In India usually, the ball would not move that much anyway. Maybe the impact will be a lot more in foreign conditions where there is substantial movement for the bowlers,&quot; Samson, who plays for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, added.<\/p>\r\n",
