Indian batsman Sanju Samson said in an interview on YouTube that the decision has been made to feature him in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa. But 10 minutes before the toss, Rohit Sharma informed him that he had been left out of the team.
Sanju said on Vimal Kumar’s channel, I was disappointed but because of the way Rohit Sharma explained it, I agreed and my respect for him increased further. Samson is playing for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy these days.
“The morning of the final I was told to be ready.” Sanju, who recently scored his first hundred in T-20 matches, said: “I had the opportunity to play in Barbados on the morning of the final. I was told to be ready. I was ready but I was told before the toss that we were going with the same team and I was disappointed with that when during the warm-up Rohit Bhai came and took me aside and started explaining to me why I did what I did. Decide.
Sanju further said, he explained it to me and said in a very casual way, “Sanju, do you understand?”, and I said – I absolutely understand. Let’s play the game first and talk after we win. Then the Indian captain said, no, you said a lot to me. I think you are unhappy. There is something in you.
Sanju said, “No, no, Rohit Bhai, it’s not like that at all.” After that the conversation started again between us and he said if you ask me as a player, I have to play.
My childhood dream was to play in the World Cup for India: Samson Samson said his only regret is not being able to play in the World Cup final under a leader like Rohit Sharma. But he was happy that Rohit turned his attention to other players and explained it to him before the match, which touched him. He told Rohit that I have dreamed of playing in the World Cup for India since my childhood. I respect your decision.
Samson was sad not to play in the World Cup final.
