About Sanju Samson’s Special Celebration

Sunday, March 1, 2026, will remain a special day in Sanju Samson’s career. The wicketkeeper-batter played one of the finest innings of his international career during the quarter-final stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 against West Indies at Eden Gardens, helping India reach the semi-finals comfortably.

The former Rajasthan Royals skipper scored an unbeaten 97 off 50 balls at a time when India needed a strong performance from the top order. He was under pressure before the match, as he had spent much of the tournament on the bench and had not played any major innings earlier.

After taking India to victory, Samson celebrated in a calm and emotional way. He went down on his knees, closed his eyes, and said a silent prayer. The moment quickly became one of the most memorable scenes of the tournament. After this the 'Chetta' also delivered key performances in important matches, scoring 97* against West Indies, 89 against England in the semi-final, and 89 against New Zealand in the final, playing a major role in India’s success.

He went on to become India’s highest run-scorer in the tournament, finishing with 321 runs and winning the Player of the Tournament award. Samson said the achievement “felt like a dream.”
