Feels like a dream: Sanju Samson
India's star batter Sanju Samson powered India to a mammoth total of 255 runs on the board thanks to his astounding 89 runs in 46 balls, including five boundaries and eight sixes.

"A lot of former players have reached out to me and tried to help me out. For the last couple of months, I have been in constant contact with Sachin sir. I reached out to him and had big big conversations with him. Getting a guidance from someone like him, what more can you ask for? I am very grateful for everyone who supported me," said Sanju Samson at the post-match presentation.
