T20 World Cup Super Eight: India opener Sanju Samson said he switched off his phone and social media to listen to himself and protect his self-belief during a lean patch, which ended with his match-winning 97 in the Mens T20 World Cup Super Eight clash against the West Indies on Sunday. Samson hammered 12 fours and four sixes in his 50-ball knock to steer India to a five-wicket victory by chasing 196, thus keeping the defending champions campaign alive and set up a semi-final clash against England in Mumbai on Thursday. Shot selection was something I kept working on. I did not want to change too much because I knew I had performed with the same setup, so I kept believing in myself, switched off my phone, switched off social media and listened to my own self. I am very happy it happened in a very special game, said Samson to Star Sports at the conclusion of the game. He reflected on how doubts crept into his mind when the runs werent coming for him in the lead-up to the showpiece event. Our human nature is that we often start from a negative thought like, 'Can I do it? I don't think I can.' When I have that thought, I try to alter it with a very positive one. When I had a series like New Zealand where I wanted to perform and be part of the World Cup team, things did not work out well, but luckily I got a 10-day gap. I did not play any games and was not in the team. I kept thinking, 'Sanju, what else? Why didn't it work? What else should I do?' So I did some soul-searching. I worked on my base, how I set myself up, and came back to it. A lot of people had suggestions and I saw a lot of valid points, but at the same time I felt, 'Sanju, you have scored three international hundreds with the same setup.' Samson was recalled to open the batting for India with a bid to break the left-handed top-order monotony and carried the team home almost single-handedly in the daunting chase, especially when he lost partners from the other end. It was a bit of a difficult chase. Looking at our batting power, I felt that chasing 190-odd at Eden Gardens, when dew comes in, gets a bit easier, but losing wickets at regular intervals made it challenging. To be honest, that's where my experience and my role played a big part. I got a good start, but when the wickets kept falling, I felt I needed to finish the game and take it till the last moment. Normally you feel like doing it, but it doesn't happen all the time, so I am very grateful it happened in this game. It was a bit of a difficult chase. Looking at our batting power, I felt that chasing 190-odd at Eden Gardens, when dew comes in, gets a bit easier, but losing wickets at regular intervals made it challenging.

ISL 2026: Chennaiyin FC Take A Point With Fighting 1-1 Draw Against Odisha FC
Indian Super League: Chennaiyin FC secured their first point of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2026 season after battling to a spirited 1-1 draw against Odisha FC at the Kalinga Stadium on Sunday. The Marina Machans looked the sharper side for large spells and deservedly went ahead in first-half stoppage time through Elsinho, who netted his maiden ISL goal. However, Carlos Delgados header midway through the second half restored parity for the hosts. Head coach Clifford Miranda made two changes to the starting XI, handing Farukh Choudhary a place in attack while Maheson Singh made his first league start, partnering Mohammed Ali Bemammer in midfield. Chennaiyin began brightly, carrying confidence from last seasons unbeaten run against the Juggernauts. Within six minutes, a sweeping move released Mandar Rao Dessai down the left, and his cutback nearly found Iigo Martin before the defence intervened. Soon after, Alberto Noguera threaded a pass to Irfan Yadwad, whose attempted pullback was cut out. From the resulting corner, Farukh reacted quickest to a loose ball and fired in a powerful volley that was bravely blocked. Chennaiyin continued to stretch Odishas backline with their width, while Maheson linked up well with Martin on multiple occasions, creating half-chances that kept the hosts on alert. The breakthrough finally arrived at the end of the first half. Farukhs inswinging corner was met by a towering header from Elsinho, who powered home to give Chennaiyin a deserved 1-0 lead. Goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz then produced a sharp save moments later to ensure the visitors went into the break ahead. After the restart, Chennaiyin maintained their attacking intent. Imran Khan and Lalrinliana Hnamte were introduced before the hour mark, and Iigo Martin soon drifted into space and drove into the box, only to see his curling effort drift narrowly wide. Klusner Pereira later replaced Farukh as the visitors sought to press home their advantage. Despite Chennaiyins dominance, Odisha found a way back in the 68th minute when Delgado rose highest to head in the equaliser. The visitors responded immediately, with Imran trying his luck from a distance and then delivering a dangerous ball into the area that Martin was inches away from converting.
