"Gautam used to wait for Sanju to do well for him to tweet. Gautam was a Sanju fan. He may still be a Sanju fan because of the way he batted. Firstly, he hit five sixes in an over. He said his mentor had asked him to do so. It came to my mind why his mentor didn't talk about six sixes," he added.

Sanju Samson poured his heart out after his maiden T20I century and revealed that he had doubts over his place in Team India after back-to-back ducks against Sri Lanka. He received the team management and captain's backing during this period and they informed him that he would be opening the innings against Bangladesh.

In a stunning performance, Sanju Samson scored 111 runs in 47 balls against Bangladesh, marking a milestone for Indian wicket-keeper batters. He highlighted the mental challenges of T20 cricket and expressed gratitude for the backing from the team’s leadership group before the series.
