Team India opening batter Abhishek Sharma spoke about his teammate Sanju Samson following their ICC T20 World Cup 2026 victory. The left-handed batter also stated that having a supportive player like Sanju provides immense confidence to the entire India national cricket team.
Team India struggled to find explosive opening starts during the initial matches of the T20 World Cup 2026. However, the team management recalled Samson midway through the event. The change transformed the team’s fortunes, as Sanju delivered three match-winning half-centuries.
Speaking to India Today, Abhishek Sharma expressed admiration for Sanju Samson and his behavior in the dressing room. He said that Samson always prioritizes the emotional well-being of his India teammates.
“Sanju bhai has always been a very sorted guy. Very loving guy, very caring guy. You know, once these kinds of players you have in your team, you feel that you have someone behind you. So that’s always been Sanju Samson for us,” Abhishek said to India Today.
Abhishek endured a difficult start to the T20 World Cup 2026, registering three consecutive ducks. The Punjab-born cricketer said that he focused on overcoming his failures and helping India win the prestigious trophy.
“It is not easy to digest. I had a plan, the only goal was to win ICC trophies for the country. Going through this tournament, it was not the start I wanted. But the team was doing well. My dream was to win the tournament. My goal is not to win only one tournament, but many,” he added.
It Also Created Friction In Those Periods - Samson’s Childhood Coach
Samson’s childhood coach, Zubin Bharucha, said that the Kerala-born cricketer cares about the comfort of others. However, the coach noted it sometimes creates friction when competitive cricket demands aggressive selfishness.
“Sport, at its most competitive, demands a certain selfishness. An inward focus. A willingness to put yourself first. These things don’t come naturally to Sanju. He is, by instinct, all about other people’s comfort — which makes him a remarkable leader, but which also created friction in those periods when the cricket demanded something harder from him.”
Sanju Samson Stages Stunning Comeback in T20 World Cup 2026
