“Sanju Samson is a fantastic story… He is someone who has always been an enigma. People have loved him. He is, for me, the most loved cricketer. Virat, Rohit, Dhoni, he seems to have that kind of fan following. There is something about how he carries himself," Karthik said on Sky Sports, as quoted by Sportskeeda.

I Would Have Brought Him In - Nasser Hussain on Sanju Samson

Former England captain Nasser Hussain said that he would have included Sanju Samson in the team from the very first match of the tournament, even though the batter was not in great form.

"I would have brought him (Samson) in. But then Ishan Kishan, who was the in-form batter, has to move down to number three, so you are trying to solve a problem by moving someone else who is doing well," Hussain stated.

Karthik stated that India introduced a right-handed option by sending Samson to open the batting to counter that strategy. He felt Abhishek lacked his usual confidence, adding that the illness might have affected his strength and overall performance.

"Off-spinners troubled Abhishek. He did not have the conviction that he normally has. I feel that's got to do with the fact that he got ill at the wrong time. I can look at him and feel like he lacks a bit of muscle," he added.
