What is Grok?

Grok is an AI-powered assistant launched in 2023. It aims to answer questions with a sarcastic edge, featuring image generation, voice mode, and integration into X and Tesla, acting as a "truth-seeking" alternative to other AI models. As per Grok, celebrations are treated more leniently and hence Samson will not be punished. 

EXCERPT OF GROK'S RESPONSE: "Celebrations are generally treated more leniently than aggressive or dissent-related acts. Sources describe the rumors as "unverified noise" or "speculative," with Samson expected to play in the semi-final."

So yes, Samson will certainly play the big game. Fans would be hoping he comes good once again and powers India into the final. The 97* off 50 balls would have done his confidence a world of good. If Samson can get the side off to a good start, it would calm the nerves in the dugout. 

Bowling coach Morne Morkel lavished praise on Samson, claiming that he is a quality player. Morkel said that from a coach's point of view all one can do is give him as much confidence as possible.
