G11-Fantasy Cricket Prediction for Today's Match

Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson recently said that he was sure to play in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. But 10 minutes before the toss, Rohit Sharma told him that he was out of the team.

Sanju said in an interview on Vimal Kumar's YouTube channel, I was disappointed by this, but the way Rohit Sharma explained, I agreed and my respect for him increased further. Samson is currently playing for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy.

I was asked to be ready on the morning of the final

Sanju, who recently scored his first century in T20, said, 'On the morning of the final, there was a chance of me playing in Barbados. I was asked to be ready. I was ready but before the toss I was told that we will go without any change. I was disappointed by this. While the warm-up was going on, Rohit bhai came and took me aside and started explaining to me why I was taking such a decision.

Sanju further said, he explained to me and said in a very casual manner, Sanju, did you understand? I said, I understand it. Let's play the match, we will talk after winning. After this, the Indian captain said, no, you are telling me a lot in your mind. I feel that you are not happy. There is something in your mind.

Sanju said, 'No, no Rohit bhai, there is nothing like that.' After this, the conversation started between us again and he said that if you ask me as a player, I have to play.

Since childhood, it was my dream to play the World Cup for India: Samson

Samson said that he regrets only one thing that he could not play the World Cup final under the captaincy of a leader like Rohit Sharma. But he is happy that Rohit explained to him before the match by leaving the focus on all the other players, this thing touched his heart. He told Rohit that since childhood it was my dream to play the World Cup for India. I respect your decision.
