Sanju: 97 Of Pure Nerve — Incredible!
T20 World Cup: Sanju Samson slowly sank to his knees, removed his helmet and looked up in prayer. It was a quiet moment of gratitude, but it carried the weight of everything he had endured in the weeks leading up to it. On a night when India’s T20 World Cup campaign was on the brink, Samson delivered an innings that could define his career.
His superb unbeaten 97 powered India to a tense five-wicket win over West Indies, sealing a place in the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals.
The significance of the knock becomes clearer when one considers the journey that led Samson to this moment. Until just one series before the tournament, he was widely expected to open the batting for India. But the arrival of Ishan Kishan, pushed him out of the playing XI at the worst possible time.
