T20 WC: Samson Showed His Full Potential When The Team Needed Him The Most, Says Gambhir
After Sanju Samson: After Sanju Samson struck an unbeaten 97 to guide India into the Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final after a five-wicket victory over the West Indies at Eden Gardens, head coach Gautam Gambhir lauded him for stepping up when the team needed him the most to make big runs.
Samson smashed 12 fours and four sixes off 50 balls to delight a capacity crowd of 67,000 as India hunted down a challenging 196 with four balls to spare and set up their semi-final meeting against England in Mumbai on Thursday.
“He's a world class player, we all know how good a player Sanju is. It was all about backing him. When the team needed him the most - obviously this was the day - he showed his full potential," said Gambhir at the conclusion of the game.
