Sanju Samson spoke about Rohit-Virat

Sanju Samson has seen a lot of ups and downs in his career. Speaking about which in the post match presentation ceremony, Samson said, ‘Actually this means the whole world to me. I think from the day I started playing, started dreaming of playing for the country, I think this is the day I was waiting for. My journey has always been very special, with a lot of ups and downs, but I kept doubting myself, thinking, what if, what if, will I be able to do this, will I be able to do this? But I kept the faith and thank God for blessing me today. So I am very happy.

Giving credit to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for this innings, Sanju Samson said, ‘I feel that I have been playing this format for a very long time. I think playing IPL for about 10 to 12 years and playing for the country for the last 10 years. I may not have played much, but I was watching from the dugout. I have learned a lot from great players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma. I think it’s very important to watch and learn what they were doing. I think that really helped me, I think from my experience I’ve probably only played 50, 60 games, but I’ve watched about 100 games and I’ve seen how the best guys finish games.

Samson also spoke about the change in his game

Sanju Samson has played different games in the last 2 matches. Speaking about which he said, ‘I think in the last game we were batting first, so it was all about making a big score, so I wanted to score big from the first ball itself. But this game was completely different. I think as soon as I wanted to play a little more fast, we were losing wickets. I think I wanted to build a partnership, focus on my process. I never thought I’d be able to do anything special, but I was just focusing on my role and taking it one ball at a time and I’m very grateful. I think this is one of the best days of my life.
