Mohammad Amir and Ahmed Shehzad joined hands to launch massive praise on Indian opener Sanju Samson after his phenomenal innings in the decisive West Indies clash that took India through to the finals. Amir levelled up Sanju, comparing him to the former Indian captain Rohit Sharma.
Pakistan are eliminated from the competition; however, the positive is that the T20 World Cup is not yet over for Pakistani fans and analysts who just love the game and want to witness a fair World Cup, even if their team is no longer a part of it. Surely former pacer Mohammad Amir is one among them.
In the popular Pakistani show 'Harna Mana Hai,' Mohammad Amir has been speaking highly of India's skillset, though he has criticized their performance at times. The show continues to analyze India's matches, with host Tabish Hashmi seemingly a big admirer of India's cricket.
Ahmed Shehzad, the former Pakistani batter, has come in to shower praises on the Indian opener after his standout innings against the West Indies. Samson's innings truly came at a time when it mattered the most for India.
"He plays very late. Though there has been a considerable amount of injustice done to him, despite having performed well, he has been dropped from the side. This time as well, he got his chance as others failed to score runs at the top," says Shehzad, speaking of the unjust snub of Samson from the T20I XI.
Ahmed Shehzad pointed out the immense competition among players in the Indian team, as he reflected on Sanju Samson's snub, saying, "But he plays very late and takes all the time to lean over a shot. As you know, Amir had scored two centuries against South Africa in South Africa. Now, can you imagine a Pakistani player who scored two centuries against the likes of Jansen and Rabada and then being out of the team for the next 5 years? But he was dropped within the next three months; such is the competition in India."
"How much pressure would he be feeling out there, yet he controlled his nerves so well. He is a very mature player, and he has shown it there today. A phenomenal innings," he concluded.
Mohammad Amir draws a comparison between Sanju Samson and Rohit Sharma
While Ahmed Shehzad pointed out Samson menthodology of playing the shots late and often waiting on the ball, which gives him greater control, Mohammad Amir claimed that he seems to find a glimpse of former Indian captain Rohit Sharma in him.
"I see a glimpse of (Rohit) Sharma in Sanju Samson," says Mohammad Amir.
This seems like a massive comparison, as Rohit Sharma is a legend in himself and, to date, the highest ever T20I run-getter for India. Sharma was renowned for his supreme control, timing, and ability to clear the fence with ease, something which was the attribute of Samson's innings yesterday.

Sanju not only batted to take India home from a position when the Indian fans had lost the majority of their hope. After Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan's dismissal within the powerplay, Samson played a masterclass in partnerships with the skipper, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and lastly Shivam Dube.
During this feat, the best partnership came alongside Tilak Varma, who is seemingly enjoying his new role at No. 5. On the other hand, Samson, with 97* runs, broke the record of Virat Kohli for the most runs in run chases for India in a T20 World Cup game.
