Sanju Samson’s comments after his error in the first ODI against South Africa

Sanju Samson scored an undefeated 86 in the first One-Day International between India and South Africa, but he was unable to lead India to victory.

Sanju Samson, a right-handed batter, scored an unbeaten 86 in the first one-day international of the three-match series against South Africa at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium, one of the most significant innings of his brief international career. However, this was not enough to help Shikhar Dhawan’s Team India win the match. Samson kept the hosts in the game till the third ball of the final over, which required 30 runs, but as soon as he missed the fourth ball, the game was over for Team India.

Samson eventually finished unbeaten on 86 thanks to 9 fours and 3 sixes. In the opening ODI, India eventually crumbled to a 9-run loss. Sanju discussed his strategy and thought process versus Tabraiz Shamsi in a post-game interview.

“We always play to get our team over the finish line, and it is always wonderful to spend some time in the middle. I shall work more harder the next time because I failed to connect on two shots. However, I am happy with my participation. Their bowlers were doing a good job, and since Tabraiz Shamsi was a bit pricey today, we thought we might target them “explained Samson during a news conference following the game.

“We anticipated him bowling the final over, and I knew I could knock four sixes if I needed to score 24 runs in that over. The idea was to take the game deep, and the batters did so admirably “Added he.
