It is impossible for any big analyst or fan in the world to predict what will happen on the cricket field. The world of T20 cricket is known for uncertainties, where every ball and every decision decides the difference between victory and defeat. The manner in which the Indian team turned the losing game in its favor in a breath-taking and thrilling match played recently, has left cricket fans all over the world on edge. In this hair-raising match, Team India’s star wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has made such a big revelation, which has surprised everyone. While speaking in the press conference after the end of the match, Sanju Samson clearly admitted that the Indian team had actually lost the match 3 overs before the end of the main game, but then a historic turn came on the field which changed the fate of the entire match.
When Sanju Samson came in front of the media after the match, he told the bitter and honest truth without making any pretense. Sanju said that when the opposing team needed very easy runs in the last few overs to win and they had enough wickets left in their hands, then both on the field and in the dressing room it seemed that the match was completely out of our hands. He said that till 3 overs ago, the opposition team had such a heavy upper hand that our chances of victory were negligible. The pressure was so high that the players were just expecting a miracle on the field. In T-20 cricket, when a team needs very few runs in the last 18 balls, it is not difficult to imagine what is the mental state of the bowling team. But despite this, the Indian players did not lose courage and remained on the field.
When Sanju Samson was asked about that special moment which brought the Indian team back into the match, he described the entire incident in a very exciting manner. According to Sanju, the real turning point of the match was a magical over bowled in the death overs and a sensational wicket in it. As soon as the Indian bowler changed the strategy and bowled a perfect yorker/slower ball and the set batsman of the opposing team was caught out on the boundary while trying to play a big shot, the wind suddenly turned towards us. Sanju told that that one wicket created so much mental pressure on the lower order batsmen of the opposition team that they could not even score runs easily. That one catch and the subsequent run out turned the entire game of the match and the match which India was looking to lose 3 overs ago, suddenly fell into India’s lap.
Sanju Samson’s wicketkeeping and captaincy/experienced advice also played an important role in this seemingly impossible victory. From behind the stumps, Sanju was constantly guiding the bowlers and motivating them to change the line-length according to the weakness of the batsman. The death overs specialist bowlers controlled their nerves in that very delicate situation of pressure and made excellent use of cutters and wide yorkers. The opposing batsmen, who till now were playing big shots with ease, were suddenly forced to play dot balls. When a set team gets consecutive dot balls in the last overs, it is natural for it to get nervous and this nervousness proved to be a lifesaver for the Indian team.
This statement of Sanju Samson and this incredible victory of Team India is a living proof that in the game of cricket, one should never give up until the last ball is bowled. This match not only shows the self-confidence and fighting spirit of the Indian team, but also proves how much of a difference each ball and each catch can make in the T20 format. This frank statement of Sanju Samson has created a stir on social media and fans all over the world are praising this unexpected comeback of the Indian team. This historic victory has once again proved that the spirit of the Indian team to fight till the last moments makes it one of the strongest and most feared cricket teams in the world.
