Until you get your game right, the runs don't come. Even a slight chink can leave you exposed.Sanju Samson is an example. He experienced the nightmare of flopping in front of his home crowd during the last international game before the World Cup, which caused him to lose his place in the playing XI. Now he is batting as if it is the easiest thing in the world.

In India’s two most important T20 World Cup games so far, he has been their best batter. After his match-winning unbeaten 97 against the West Indies, he lit up the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday with a swashbuckling 89 (42 balls) in the semifinal against England.

In the media interaction after taking India into the final, Samson promised to try and carry on in the same vein in the title clash against New Zealand.

"It feels really great (and) relieved. I have actually for a few years been trying to do something like this for my country. So, I waited with great patience, did a lot of inner work, training, and practice," said Samson who was named Player of the Match in both the games.
