"It felt really great to spend some time in the middle" - India batter Sanju Samson on his 51-run knock
Speaking at the mid-innings break, Team India batter Sanju Samson reflected on his half-century and said:
"It felt really great to spend some time in the middle and score some runs and contribute for the team. I had different plans for different bowlers. I wanted to use my feet and dominate the bowlers by disturbing their line and length. It is a challenging thing, having to adjust to playing in different batting positions while representing the country."
On his thought process about adapting to different batting positions, Samson added:
"I have played domestic cricket for the last 8-9 years and for India here and there, so it gives you a bit of understanding of playing in different batting positions. It is the number of overs you get, and it is not about batting position, so you have to prepare accordingly."
