New Delhi: India’s wicket-keeper batsman, Sanju Samson, reflects on the mental challenges he faced in the last three to four months despite his impressive performance, scoring his first-ever ODI century in the recent match against South Africa.
In a post-match interview, Samson expressed, “The last three, four months were challenging for me mentally. So going through all that and coming here I think doing what I did today, I feel really happy and grateful.”
Despite an outstanding average of 55.7 at a strike rate of 104 in 13 ODI innings, Samson was not selected for the ODI World Cup, raising questions about the selection process.
Samson’s century, scoring 108 runs, played a crucial role in India’s victory over South Africa in the third game of the series at Paarl.
“I’ve been blessed in my genes. My father is also a sportsman, so how much ever setbacks you have, I think there’s always no other way to come back and bounce back… think how much you can work on yourself and how you can come back more strongly,” he added.
