Samson never lost his cool, even with wickets falling around him: Shastri

NEW DELHI: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes Sanju Samson’s match-winning knock against the West Indies in the last ICC Men's T20 World Cup Super Eights contest at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday could mark a turning point in the opener’s career and lauded the fact that he did not lose his cool when 'wickets kept falling around him.'

Samson struck an unbeaten 97, laced with 12 fours and four sixes, steering India into the semi-finals and earning the Player of the Match award for his commanding display under pressure.

Speaking on The ICC Review, Shastri praised the 29-year-old’s temperament in a high-stakes contest, saying, “It is Sanju's special Samson today, and that innings was special, because just his calmness, his composure, and just the sublime touch right through that innings.”
