Sanju Samson helped India seal a victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Though everyone made their contributions, which made it a famous victory, had it not been for Samson, India would not have made it to the semi-finals and, secondly, would not have been able to put 250+ runs on the board in the semi-finals and the final.
Former Indian great Sunil Gavaskar praised Sanju Samson for his extraordinary outing in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. He heaped praise on the Kerala star who helped India clinch their consecutive title in the shortest format of the game.
"His pulling off the fierce pace of Jofra Archer was reminiscent of Viv Richards at his powerful best, though most of his batting is more like the Sri Lankan stylist Mahela Jayawardene," noted Sunil Gavaskar.
Gavaskar praised Sanju Samson for playing quality cricketing shots in T20Is
"Purity of batting is generally a virtue in the longest format of the game, Test match cricket, and occasionally in the 50-over game, but hardly ever in the ultra-short format of the game," wrote Gavaskar.
Both openers...justified the trust show- Sunil Gavaskar
India not only backed Sanju Samson by making him return to the Indian side, but also backed Abhishek Sharma despite the left-hander struggling with very poor form.
"In the final, Abhishek Sharma came good with the quickest half-century in the T20 World Cup. Both the openers had, with their performances when it mattered most, justified the trust shown in them by the team’s brains trust," said Gavaskar (via the aforementioned source).
