AhmedabadSanju Samson was left out of India's starting lineup for their T20 World Cup match against the USA after he struggled with the bat during the five-match series against New Zealand. The former captain, who was present at the event at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, was seen conversing with Sanju Samson, though the specifics were not disclosed.
The ICC didn't release the video until after Sanju Samson scored an undefeated 97 runs against the West Indies in the final Super Eights match. In the video, Rohit was seen encouraging Samson to improve his fundamentals and be ready for an opportunity that might arise at any point during the competition. When it finally arrived, Samson grasped it with both hands. After the terrific knock against West Indies, the Kerala batter smacked 89 against England in the semi-final, helping India secure a seven-run win.

Sometimes I can sense the player's pulse. In an ICC video, Rohit stated, "I have been myself in that place where, you know, when I've been in a tournament like this and my chances haven't come, it's important to stay focused and try and do the right things and not get frustrated with you not getting the opportunity."
"You know, I just wanted to tell him that it's a long tournament and funny things have happened in the past, so I just wanted to reassure him that your chance would come because he was playing consistently for India and was dropped just before the World Cup started. Thus, he performed brilliantly in a game that was vital for India, he continued.
Notably, Samson is one of the eight nominees for Player of the Tournament after scoring 232 runs in four games this tournament.
