It is said that one should always answer with one's actions and not with words. Especially when questions start being raised, when people start being ignored. At present, the best example of this is Team India's star wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson. The same Samson, for whom it was difficult to make a place in the playing-11 of Team India just a few days ago. The same Samson who steadied the team's boat. The same Samson, whom captain Suryakumar Yadav was seen making fun of when asked about his inclusion in the team. The same Samson who brought the captain out of trouble by taking the team to the semi-finals.

On March 1 in Kolkata, when Team India was taking on West Indies in the semi-final race, hardly anyone would have thought that the star of this match would ultimately be the batsman who was not only removed from his position but was also dropped from the playing-11. When West Indies set a target of 196 runs, it seemed that this time batsmen like Abhishek Sharma and captain Suryakumar Yadav would play big innings. But when Team India's batting started, the story was completely opposite.

Sanju Samson not only attacked from the beginning, but also maintained the lead from one end even with wickets falling nearby. Samson, who was playing only his third match in this World Cup, made a fast start like in the previous two matches, but in those two matches, where he was out after scoring 22 and 24 runs, at the most important moment, he played a big innings and led the team to victory. Even though Sanju missed the century by 3 runs, he took the team to the semi-finals by playing an unbeaten inning of 97 runs.

This innings of Samson was very special for him because through this he gave an answer to many people and team captain Suryakumar Yadav was also there in it. Actually, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma were continuously struggling in the group stage matches. In such a situation, in the press conference before the match against South Africa in the Super-8 round, Captain Surya was asked whether Samson would be played in the opening or at number-3? In response to this, Surya replied in a mocking tone to the journalist and asked whether he should drop Abhishek or Tilak. Surya was laughing while giving this answer and then said that whatever is going on is going well and let it continue as it is.

But the truth is that after the defeat against South Africa, Team India's chances of reaching the Super-8 started decreasing, so Team India made the same change which the captain had ignored. Samson returned against Zimbabwe and scored a quick 24 runs. Then in the last match, when captain Surya himself failed miserably, it was Samson who took charge of the team and led it to victory. Finally, after the match, the captain also took off his cap and bowed his head in prostration to Sanju, which appeared to be a kind of repentance.
