T20 WC: 'Switched Off Phone & Social Media, Listened To Myself,' Says Samson After Hitting Unbeaten 97
T20 World Cup Super Eight: India opener Sanju Samson said he switched off his phone and social media to listen to himself and protect his self-belief during a lean patch, which ended with his match-winning 97 in the Men’s T20 World Cup Super Eight clash against the West Indies on Sunday.
Samson hammered 12 fours and four sixes in his 50-ball knock to steer India to a five-wicket victory by chasing 196, thus keeping the defending champions’ campaign alive and set up a semi-final clash against England in Mumbai on Thursday.
“Shot selection was something I kept working on. I did not want to change too much because I knew I had performed with the same setup, so I kept believing in myself, switched off my phone, switched off social media and listened to my own self. I am very happy it happened in a very special game," said Samson to Star Sports at the conclusion of the game.
