🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Second Semi-Final- India vs Eng🏏 - Page 115

Sanju Samson | Player of the Match: Feels really great. I knew I got some form going from the last game. I gave myself extra time and it came off nicely. Yeah, as I told before, you need to assess the conditions. I think you know we have played a lot of cricket here in Wankhede. As I said before, chasing becomes a bit easier here. They won the toss, put us into bat. So we knew after the way we batted, I think the way myself and Ishan batted, the partnership which we had for after Abhishek got out, I thought that I think 250 should be, I think, possible here. So I think that's what we were talking about in the dressing room as well. So we are very happy how the team turned up today and all credit goes to Jasprit Bumrah. I think the world-class bowler, once in a generation bowler, I think that's what he delivered today. I think this should go to him actually. So I think if we didn't bowl that way and the death overs, I think I would not be standing here.

So all credit goes to the bowlers, how they backed themselves in the tough conditions. Oh wow, I think as you have witnessed here, sir, I think it's an unbelievable feeling to play in Wankhede right from childhood. I think the way people support actually both the Indian team and also the England team. I think there are real supporters of the cricket as well. So I really enjoy playing here, but I think we wanted to put in a positive result for them.

But very happy results actually made them happy today. I think not at all, sir. I think hundred, I think you know, hundred actually you can't actually score a hundred. It actually comes in the process of you actually, you can't actually, it's not a test game, it's not a ODI game where you can go up and down, up and down once you've got the start, you're batting first, there is no other way. You just have to keep going hard, hard, hard. And once you, I think, end up on the right side, who knows? I think which amount of runtime getting. So I'm very happy to get whatever I'm getting and very happy to contribute on the winning side for my country.

sanju wont get it, he just got interviewed

No he’s the POTM. And so sweet of him to give due credits to Bumrah. Bumrah delivered and it’s due to him that India was in a comfortable position. Yes, he gave slightly more runs than normal but he didn’t leak runs. That was all Bethell.
