Sanju Samson trying to make 'maximum' utilisation of current form

NEW DELHI: Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has hit a purple patch, notching up 3 centuries in his last six competitive matches that includes a Duleep Trophy ton and is determined to make the most of his current form.
Samson on Friday smacked a remarkable 50-ball 107 against South Africa, his second consecutive T20I century, following his impressive 111 runs against Bangladesh.
The recent solid performances have helped Samson shed the label of an inconsistent performer.
“Really enjoyed my time out there in the middle. I made maximum utilisation of my current form you can say,” Samson said after collecting his player of the match award following India’s 61-run win over South Africa in the first T20I.
Following India’s resounding 61-run victory over South Africa in the series opener in Durban, Samson highlighted on the importance of intent.
“The intent, we have been talking about being aggressive and keeping the team ahead of yourselves. Once you play three-four balls you are looking for the boundary,” said Samson.
Samson acknowledged the approach to batting involves a degree of risk but he is looking to maintain a fearless mindset at the crease.
“I’m not thinking much, sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn’t. I am happy it worked out well today.”
India skipper Suryakumar Yadav also commended Samson’s dedication and hard work over the past ten years. Surya highlighted Samson’s commitment to putting in the effort behind the scenes.
“The amount of hard work he has done in the last 10 years, doing the boring work, he is eating the fruits of that. He was in the 90s but still he was looking for a boundary, playing for the team and shows the character of the man and that’s what we look for,” Suryakumar said.
