Sanju Samson played some phenomenal cricket to help India beat West Indies by five wickets. With that, India qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. The Kerala batter arguably played one of the best knocks of his career, scoring unbeaten 97 runs as India 196 runs with four balls to spare. He was eventually adjudged the Player of the Match, which will give the 31-year-old some much-needed confidence ahead of the semi-final clash against England in Mumbai. Meanwhile, after the game, India's head coach Gautam Gambhir spoke on the small contributions that equally matter. He highlighted that Shivam Dube’s two boundaries in the 19th over of the match were hugely effective, allowing the pressure to come off Samson’s shoulder. Notably, in the first ball of the over, Hardik Pandya played a dot and got out to Shamar Joseph in the following ball. At that point, India needed 17 runs off 10 balls. from IndiaTV Sports: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/EysvB6T via IFTTT
