“It definitely gives you a lot of confidence. After that, you start understanding your own patterns. You focus on your process, reduce the outside noise, and figure out your own way of creating the best environment in your mind to go out there and perform.
Samson was the Player of the Tournament in India’s T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year, and though his form has fluctuated in recent times, the Indian team has continued to back him in the shortest format. India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson on Saturday said the confidence he gained from his World Cup performances had helped him understand his game better, adding that he now wants to stay grounded and continue playing fearless cricket.
Looking ahead to the five-match T20I series against New Zealand starting on October 22, Samson said a packed calendar leaves little room for preparation and that experience would have to bridge the gap. “Sometimes you score runs, and sometimes you don’t. “We have just one day of batting practice. We’ll reach there on the 20th, practice on the 21st, and play the match on the 22nd. So, we’ll try to carry forward the good things we’ve done here.
So, I try to understand that, stay grounded, and continue playing fearless cricket,” Samson said to former India teammate Yuzvendra Chahal on the Hindi broadcast feed as rain delayed the start of the fifth and final T20I against the West Indies at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.
