Will not go to the stadium to watch the match – Vishwanath Samson

After this, when the female anchor asks Sanju’s father whether he will go to Mumbai to watch the match and if India reaches the finals? So, answering this, Vishwanath Samson says, I will not go to watch the match – I will sit at home and watch it. My son should score 60-70 more runs for the country.

What did Sanju say after the match?

Sanju said, this is more than the world for me. From the day I started playing cricket and dreamed of representing my country, I was waiting for a day like this. It has been a unique journey full of ups and downs. At times, I doubted myself and wondered whether I would be able to move forward. I thank God that he has blessed me. India will play against England on March 5 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both the teams have won two World Cup trophies so far in 2010 and 2022.
