“My wish was…”: Sanju Samson reveals his ‘dream come true’ moment

Just 46 games across the format in a near decade-long career tells that Sanju Samson’s career hasn’t really gone in an upward trajectory. Deemed as one of the most talented batters in the country, Samson never got a consistent run in the Indian team. However, the batter is himself to blame as he failed to capitalize on the limited opportunities he got. The silver lining in Samson’s case however, is that he is 29 and still has time to make it big at the international level.

The biggest moment in Samson’s career came when he was picked in the India squad for T20 World Cup. Though, he didn’t get a chance to play any match, still he cherishes the moment and calls it a dream come true.

“The last 3-4 months have been the best of my career. Being part of the World Cup team is like a dream come true something I desired 3-4 years ago. My wish was to play in my last ODI World Cup. However, it was only after joining the team and winning the Twenty20 World Cup that I realized it wasn’t an easy task. But in the last series against Sri Lanka, I didn’t perform as expected,” Samson said.

Samson also acknowledged the support that he gets across the globe as it keeps him motivated to work hard towards his goals. Though his fans are quite disappointed with him not getting many chances to show his calibre.

“The support I’ve received from people across the country, as well as from Malayalis all the way from New Zealand to the West Indies, is amazing. Other team members often say that wherever I go, I have incredible support. That’s why they feel disappointed when I don’t make it into the team or when I get out for a duck. I have the maturity to understand that,” Samson concluded.
