From Being On Sidelines To Becoming Player Of The Tournament: Samson's WC Run Was Worth The Wait
T20 World Cup: Sanju Samson began the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup relegated to the bench for all but a single league match against Namibia in New Delhi. Many feared the tournament would see Samson as an unused member again, a fate he faced during the victorious 2024 campaign. When it seemed another chapter of unfulfilled potential would be written for Samson, a dramatic turn saw him redrafted during the Super Eights clash against Zimbabwe. From there, Samson did more than just step into the light - he seized the stage to become the lead actor in Indias march to a third T20 World Cup title. In a breathtaking time from March 1-8, Samson rewrote his own legacy. It began with an unforgettable, unbeaten 97 in a high-pressure encounter against the West Indies in Kolkata, followed by two sublime, identical knocks of 89 in the semi-final and final against England and New Zealand. By the time India had the trophy in their hands, Samson had amassed 321 runs across just five innings at a blistering strike rate of 199 to become the Player of the Tournament. His resurgence was punctuated by a record-breaking 24 sixes - the most ever by a batter in a single edition of the tournament. For a player who has carried the heavy burden of inconsistent runs and unfulfilled potential, the crowning moment felt richly deserving. While Indias clinical 96-run demolition of New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium will be remembered as an unprecedented historical triumph, the enduring image of the 2026 campaign will be Samson finally shining on a grand stage - runs flowing as freely as the fireworks that illuminated the Ahmedabad sky on March 8. Biju George first saw Samson bat as an 11-year-old coming to practice at the Medical College Ground in Thiruvananthapuram, nearly 25km from his home in Vizhinjam. He remembers the exact moment Samson was called up for India for their tour of England in 2014. When that happened, I can still imagine seeing him with his kit bag on his shoulder, walking down the ground. He came close and hugged me and said, Sir, we have done that, recalled George in an exclusive conversation with IANS. Now, over 11 years later, George remained awake in the hours after the final, riding the wave of admiration for Samson. I am so happy for Sanju. He has seen the lows in life, now he is seeing the highs, and I am very happy for him. I hope the highs stay a little longer than the lows. People now absolutely look at him in a different light. If I may say so, he has done like what Kohli and Rohit have done for India in the World Cup and probably Dhoni has done the same for India in the World Cup, albeit in a lesser number of innings. So all credit to Sanju for how he has come through. Samsons path to this moment came via a recall triggered by Indias urge to break from left-handed batting monotony at the top order. See, every class player needs just one break, one good break. He got that break and he just took it off from there. If you look at one more angle to this, the Zimbabwe, West Indies, England and New Zealand bowlers, he has faced them a lot in the IPL. So he knew what they were coming through and that was one good thing for him, added George. To watch Samson bat is a purists joy. At his best, he simply stands with his famous stillness. Zubin Bharucha, the former Mumbai batter who has mentored and coached Samson since he was 17, explains why that purity is structural. There are many who have played this game and who strike the ball beautifully. Eventually you only get four or six. But the purists can start categorising levels of purity, which stem from your bat swing and the way the ball leaves the bat. The longer and higher the backlift the more the time, purer the strike, but equally more the complications, given it has a longer journey to the ball. His backlift is probably one of the higher ones around world cricket where the toe of the bat often gets past his head. This is unique to each individual and termed as his batting DNA. Hence when the bat comes down from that long winded coil, the ball leaves the bat with a different sound and that's the effortlessness you see in his strokeplay. Very few in the world possess this and it's completely unique to him, Bharucha told IANS. This purity wasnt always evident. Ahead of the World Cup, Samson made only 46 runs in five innings against New Zealand. An exaggerated trigger movement and being too deep in the crease was hampering him, but with help from the Indian coaching staff to stabilize his base, Samson found his mojo. Now he stopped doing that and he is very good now, as he has come back to it. See, for everybody, you can't say that as a cricketer, you adjust technique immediately. What you can say is, technique evolves over the years through experience, facing different bowlers, playing on different pitches, and thats how it evolves. He has now got his Zen and mojo - like, this is what I want to be. Once the base is strong, he has got a very clear bat path with a high back-lift and a flourishing follow-through. So with the still base, all he can do is, let the hands do all the work. Despite his talent, the challenge was often the psychological toll of being doubted. Those doubts evaporated when Samson knelt and made a cross to thank the Almighty after hitting his unbeaten 97 in Kolkata. Everyone has their own unique journey, but its the wait and the struggle that makes it extra special. So many ups and downs through any journey but what was unique was that at every juncture, his sheer undiluted talent helped supersede all obstacles. It was all mental, technically he had scored three centuries and in some of the most difficult conditions in SA when the next best player score was thirty odd. After those kind of innings for him to still have everyone doubt his position became his mental challenge. It would be for anyone. In Kerala, Samson occupies a space in the popular imagination that goes beyond statistics. George recalls how his household help - a passionate cricket follower - found the stress of lack of runs from Samsons bat being. She was telling my wife like in the week before Sanju was called for the matches after he had his failures initially, that I have so much tension in my house. First of all, my child is sick. My house has an EMI pending. All this is fine, but why doesn't Sanju make runs? Please ask him about this. She was like, I can handle all of that tensions in life. But why isn't he, our kid, making runs? That is the connect he has with the Kerala audience and its not just Kerala, everybody loves him. He is like your younger brother every family will want in their family. He is the guy who every girl wants to romance. Every mother wants to have a person like him as their son. Before the tournament, Samson prepared by batting for long hours every day on grounds made available by the Kerala Cricket Association. Hats off especially to the secretary, Mr. Vinod S Kumar, because he gave the go ahead for the use of those three first class grounds, even with the use of lights so that he could bat under lights, said George. Bowlers came in shifts, as Bharucha oversaw the technical side of those sessions. Any camp at this stage of his career is merely to ensure things are all in place technically and we have worked on high variability. Like, have we practiced every aspect we imagine might be encountered inside the game. An early swinging ball or persistent short balls or spinners bowling different angles. Once each box had been ticked he was ready to go. A support structure involving his wife Charulatha Remesh, friend Iqlas Naha, and the legendary Sachin Tendulkar helped Samson keep his focus. He had reached out to the Master batter, which was really good. It still goes on to show that the legends of Indian cricket, they are still helping the current generation and that is called legacy like what do you leave behind? George also revealed that India head coach Gautam Gambhir's admiration for Samson stretches back to being at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). People always speak about Rajasthan Royals giving the start for Sanju. But he started his IPL career with KKR. People always speak about RR giving the start for Sanju. But he started his IPL career with KKR. That's why when he hit the 97 not out against the West Indies, I was thinking how fitting it is - the city where he started his IPL career is the place where he began his turnaround. He was given an academy contract by KKR, but Venky Mysore came in and he was instrumental in making sure that he was given an IPL contract, especially when Gautam Gambhir was leading. Nobody knows Gautam Gambhir was always a big fan and supporter of Sanju. In 2013/14 when I was working with KKR, Gautam bhai always used to ask, What is Sanju doing? Make sure he doesn't fail and take care of him. He used to tell me every single time. George, who works as talent scouting head for KKR, has not called Samson since the final. He is waiting, deliberately, for the noise to settle. I am still in that euphoria. I don't know whether it's a dream or reality, but it's really good for him. I hope he does well in the IPL too, where he will play for a new team (Chennai Super Kings) and on a new wicket. Chennais wicket has also changed. It has become a flatter wicket. It will be good for him. I didn't try to reach out because I wanted everything for him to sink in. I will talk to him only after the IPL. For Bharucha, the question of whether this moment represents a new beginning for Samson is not an easy one to answer, though he did feel a potential chance of captaining India could come. This is a difficult question to answer not from the perspective of whether it's the beginning because it is in many ways the beginning and if he wants, he can go win India another World Cup or even potentially captain India given his unique leadership qualities. But because he is such a unique personality with such wide and varied interests in life beyond cricket, where he wants to solve the problems of the world and certainly his beloved Kerala. He is in a unique and privileged position and while everyone would want to continue watching that silken and effortless flow regaling cricket audiences around the world, Sanju the individual might have other desires. He is such a unique individual. Maybe he can traverse both worlds and keep everyone happy, but only time will tell what will make Sanju happy. But because he is such a unique personality with such wide and varied interests in life beyond cricket, where he wants to solve the problems of the world and certainly his beloved Kerala.

Indian Team Kept The Belief Going That Abhishek Will Come Good One Day, Says Kotak
T20 World Cup: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak credited the teams culture and unwavering belief in ensuring that Abhishek Sharma would come good one day during their successful 2026 Mens T20 World Cup 2026 campaign after enduring a difficult start to the competition. Abhishek, the swashbuckling top-ranked T20I batter, struggled to get going in the tournament, especially after suffering from a stomach infection. He scored just one fifty and bagged three ducks before shining in the title clash against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, by hitting 52 off 21 balls, including notching up his fifty off just 18 deliveries. Regarding Abhishek, that boy is mentally very tough. But he used to smile even if things werent going well for him. He got sick at the start of the tournament and did not get a run in four league matches. He was under pressure, but against Zimbabwe, I felt that he was trying to hit the ball hard because of his lack of form. So it was fixed by everyone that they would do their best for keeping him in a happy space. We also kept that belief going in him that he will come good one day. Like, he scored that fifty against Zimbabwe in Chennai. Though in the match against England, he did not make big runs again, but he scored crucial runs in the final. So the combination of the team and everyone's faith, that was supremely good for him, Kotak told IANS in an exclusive conversation. He also explained how he and the Indian team management managed the delicate balance of providing technical inputs without overloading a struggling player like Abhishek and keeping him in a happy space at the same time. All of us in the team kept him confident and we kept saying to him, Tu karega (You will come good). The little bit of changes were made for him both technically and tactically in terms of getting back to being among runs -for example, making more use of the crease. Then Gautam used to give some inputs as everyone used to bowl to him outside the off-stump. So technical inputs and tactically what I felt was necessary for him to click was also made. There was everyone's contribution in this and keeping him confident was also the key. In coaching, you cannot do that you have to give a batter a lot of information in order to boost his confidence. Its because if one does that, then he will feel I have a fault here and there. Har jagah fault hi fault hai (I can see faults everywhere). You cannot do that and we all handled that well and passed on the messages too. Eventually, it went very well, by the grace of God, he elaborated. The batting coach also lauded wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan for making a successful return to the national set-up after a hiatus of nearly two years. Drafted at the expense of Shubman Gill from the T20Is against New Zealand in January with an eye to maximise batting power-play, Kishan went on to amass 317 runs and became Indias second-highest run-scorer in the tournament after Sanju Samson. It was such a big tournament for Ishan - almost two years later, he came back and was amazing. This boy has been with me for a long time. After being under me for Gujarat Lions in the IPL, I have seen him play two-three good innings in domestic games against Saurashtra in Rajkot and Delhi. In 2019, when I became India A's head coach, he was again with me for five series. I would meet him whenever he came to NCA (now CoE). I know him well and I have seen his tough times - when he came back from South Africa in 2023 and he was not in the team. But he is a lovely player - he is someone who is very lively, he said. Kotak further noted a visible evolution in the wicketkeeper-batters temperament, while admitting that the humour element he and Abhishek bring to the team is much-needed. I also noted that as compared to the time in the past, a lot of maturity has come into him. He laughs a lot and is funny and keeps everyone happy. Characters like him and Abhishek are very funny and it is important to have people like them as with pressure around all the time, dimaag phat jayega (the brain will break down). I am so happy for Ishan because this was his comeback run and the way he has performed, it was just outstanding. You can see all of his innings - the way he has played, he truly gave it all for the team, he said. With Samson slotting in to break the left-handed monotony, Tilak Varma went from being a proven top-order batter to hitting explosive cameos in the middle-order for maintaining momentum, something which Kotak was quick to appreciate. Regarding Tilak coming good at five, we had to bring in a right-handed batter early on, as the leftie batters were being dismissed by off-spinners. With Ishan at three and Surya at four, and Tilak had to slot in at number five. Tilak is a kind of player who will play according to the teams needs at any number. There was no tension as such from Tilak and everyone, as they would say, Any number you tell us to bat at, we will fulfill the teams needs and do the job well, he said. Beyond individual performances, Kotak highlighted the batting group's collective selflessness by citing skipper Suryakumar Yadav's willingness to push Shivam Dube ahead of himself in the semi-final against England in Mumbai which in his view was emblematic of what sets a world champion winning team apart from other sides. Its the same for all the players. Even Surya sacrificed his own position in the batting order. Then Shivam and Hardik contributed so well and Tilak also played so well. In all, everyone in the batting group made their contributions. The batting group is just like this and you can see in the semi-final, Surya sent Shivam ahead of himself. In a way, for the teams good, it was a sacrifice. Otherwise he could have thought, I can also make runs for the team. I had been the number one T20I batter and why should I send anyone ahead? But it was not like that. He was also thinking about the team and it was very good to see that. That is why I think when a team becomes world champion, their sacrifice, taking all factors into consideration and team first attitude all these things matter, he elaborated. Kotak also reserved high praise for Shivam Dube, who amassed 235 runs in nine matches at an average of 39.16 and an impressive strike rate of 169.06. More than the numbers, Dubes cameos in both the semi-final and the final helped India post totals exceeding 250. The impact of Shivam was also very big. Look at the final - he made 26 runs in eight balls. In the semifinal, he chipped in with 43. He is a different level player now. In fact, all of them have their own beauty as batters. They play their own roles very well and according to the needs of the team. Kotak also reserved high praise for Shivam Dube, who amassed 235 runs in nine matches at an average of 39.16 and an impressive strike rate of 169.06.

Indian Premier League: With the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) set to begin on March 28, former India captain Anil Kumble reflected on Royal Challengers Bengalurus long-awaited title triumph last year, crediting both Virat Kohlis influence and the teams improved bowling unit for their success. Kumble explained that while Kohli remained central to the franchises rise, the bowlers played a decisive role in helping the side clinch their maiden IPL crown. Virat plays a major part in RCB's success. But if you look at last year, whenever RCB were successful, their bowling unit also came to the fore, he said, speaking on JioStar. Kumble noted that RCBs attack delivered consistently throughout the campaign, with experienced pacers and a dynamic spin duo making key contributions, saying, I feel Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar certainly contributed a lot. The two spinners, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma, were also a surprise package. The bowling unit performed exceptionally well for them to win the trophy. He added that while Kohli remains the biggest draw for fans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the strength of the bowling lineup now gives supporters greater confidence in the teams ability to defend totals. So, I think the fans will certainly throng the Chinnaswamy Stadium to watch Virat Kohli. But I'm sure the fans will also be proud that they have a really strong bowling unit that can defend, he said. He also weighed in on the long-running debate over the most successful franchise in IPL history, placing the Mumbai Indians alongside the Chennai Super Kings as the benchmark teams in the league. MI is very close to, or almost the same as CSK when you talk about the greatest team in the IPL, because you can't really distinguish one from the other, he noted. He explained that the two franchises have taken different routes to sustained success, with CSK often relying on proven experience, while Mumbai have built their reputation by spotting emerging talent. CSK has always been consistent with their selections. They go for people who have been there and done that. Only last year did we see a few youngsters come through. Whereas MI has gone slightly out and looked at players whom nobody had seen before, some who had done well at the domestic level. So people like Hardik, Krunal and Jasprit all came through those ranks. And then we saw what happened. Recently, you had the likes of Nehal Wadhera, who has now moved to PBKS, but performed really well for MI, Kumble stated. Meanwhile, former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara shared his views on MS Dhonis batting role for CSK, suggesting the veteran could make a greater impact if he came in earlier in the order. I don't see a point in MS Dhoni batting at Number 8 or 9, because he has the potential to turn games around single-handedly, something no other batter in the CSK team can do. If he bats for only five or ten balls, imagine what Mahi bhai can do if he plays 25 or 30 balls, Pujara said.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score I've been in the CSK setup. In that environment, players are very comfortable, it's like a family. When you're in that setup, there is clarity about what is expected of you as a player. Loyalty also comes into the picture because most of CSK's players, if you look at the history, once a player is part of that setup, he stays there for a long time. There is a transition in the team now, so there is a bit more preference for young players, Pujara added. Article Source: IANS
