‘Can Do Much Better’: Sanju Samson Still Sees Room for Improvement After Hitting 2nd Fastest Ton

Despite Scoring a Lightning-Fast Ton, Sanju Samson 's Quest for Perfection Continues

While speaking at the post-match ceremony after India's win in Hyderabad, Sanju Samson expressed that despite putting up a spectacular ton which put him on the record books, he said that his performance while batting could be much better.

“(I am) very happy that they (teammates) are happy I did well. It can get frustrating knowing what you can do out there, and I have also felt I can do much better.

“But, with playing so many games I know how to deal with pressure and my failures because I have failed a lot. Just focus was on process and knowing you will do well," Sanju Samson said after the 3rd T20I match.

Team India's new T20I regime backed Sanju Samson to go big as he is believed to have the talent, but it hasn't been consistent on the international stage. The wicketkeeper-batter spoke about how he received support from the leadership, which helped him hit big in Hyderabad.

“The leadership tells me they back me no matter what... not just in words but in actions also. Last series I got two ducks and went back to Kerala thinking what will happen, but I'm here,” he said.

In just 47 balls, Sanju Samson struck 111 runs off of eight sixes and eleven fours, becoming the second-fastest Indian to reach a century in T20I history in just 40 balls. The Men in Blue achieved their highest-ever total in the format and second-highest overall with a record total of 297/6, courtesy of the wicketkeeper-batter's epic innings.
