Sanju Samson: Thoughts kept coming “what if not”, but this is one of the greatest day of my life

KOLKATA: (Mar 1) Sanju Samson on Sunday admitted that the thought of “what if not” kept creeping into his mind, but he repeatedly brought himself back to the present and reacted to each ball on merit as he carried India into the T20 World Cup semifinals with a splendid 97 not out.

Samson’s 50-ball knock, studded with 12 fours and four sixes, for an unbeaten 97 proved to be the difference as India beat the West Indies by five wickets and four balls to spare.

“There is always a question, what if not? So definitely that keeps on playing in your mind,” Samson told broadcaster after the match.
