Sanju Samson Reflects on T20 World Cup 2026 Setbacks and Recovery
Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson reflected on his challenging journey during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. After a disappointing series against New Zealand and Ishan Kishan's rise, Samson was initially dropped from India's playing XI. Former captain Rohit Sharma encouraged him to stay patient, though Samson admitted he struggled to believe this. Using the setback for self-reflection, Samson regained confidence and delivered key performances, ultimately becoming the Player of the Tournament and contributing significantly to India's title win.
