Mohammad Kaif said in a video posted on his YouTube channel, "Credit, in a way, goes to South Africa for defeating India badly, because that made the team rethink the combination. With six left-handed batters in the top eight, it felt that Sanju deserved a chance. He was brought in out of necessity, and then came this historic innings that has taken India into the semifinals.”
Now, after Kohli, it is Sanju Samson who has achieved this landmark-Sanju Samson
He added, “Now, after Kohli, it is Sanju Samson who has achieved this landmark, scripting history with a remarkable 195-run chase. What makes it even more special is that this was a player who had been on the sidelines throughout the World Cup, carrying drinks, dropped from the XI, and sitting out.”
Kaif pointed out how calm Samson looked during the tough chase. The required run rate was around 10 runs per over, but Samson did not panic. He hit boundaries at the right time, took easy singles, and ran between the wickets without any pressure. Kaif said that Sanju looked fully in control and confident that he could win the match.
No one will forget this innings: Kaif
In my opinion, this innings was destined to come from his bat. There may be delays in life, but justice is never denied. Everyone eventually gets a chance to show what they are capable of. And this innings, played at the historic Eden Gardens, is something no one will forget.”
