His knock set a great platform for the Men in Blue to reach a massive total of 253/7 in 20 overs, which is the highest-ever total in a T20 World Cup knockout clash. India will take on New Zealand in the summit clash of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, March 8.
Samson stated that he was grateful for the runs he scored for the team rather than focusing on milestones. He added that his focus is entirely on winning his first World Cup final on Sunday.
"Either you play well if it’s your day or just support others to play well. One more to go! Then I would feel lighter," he added.

Sanju Samson Breaks Rohit Sharma's Huge Six-Hitting Record
Samson became the Indian player with the most sixes in a single edition of the T20 World Cup. The Kerala-born cricketer surpassed Rohit Sharma, who had previously hit 15 maximums during India's title-winning run in the 2024 edition.
India Survive Despite Jacob Bethell's Sensational Century
The Harry Brook-led England side fought until the final over of the run chase. Jacob Bethell almost took his side home by smashing a sensational 105 off just 48 balls. He registered the highest individual score in a T20 World Cup knockout game, but it came in a losing cause.
However, Jasprit Bumrah held his nerve in the pressure moments during the death overs. He was the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of 1/33 in four overs. Bumrah delivered a match-defining 17th over, conceding just six runs when the equation was 45 needed off 18 balls.
