India's star keeper-batter Sanju Samson, who recently smashed his maiden T20I century against Bangladesh and will now feature in the ongoing Rani Trophy 2024, opened up on T20 World Cup 2024, where he was behind Rishabh Pant in the pecking order. 

Samson, who was a part of the squad, sat on the bench for the entire tournament and failed to get a solitary match as India preferred Pant over him. However, Samson revealed that India were planning to include him in the playing XI for the finals, but changed the decision at the last moment. 

Rohit Sharma's Long Discussion With Sanju Samson

Samson, speaking to Vimal Kumar, revealed that Rohit told him about the last-minute change and the two had a long discussion as the hitman felt that Samson would be cursing him in his head.

"During the warm-up, Rohit took me to the side and started to explain to me why he was making that decision. He was like, 'You understood, na? You know his way, very casual?' I told him, 'Let us win the match and then talk. You focus on the match. He came back one minute later and said, 'I know you are cursing me in your mind.' I think you are not happy. I feel like you have something on your mind. Then we had a discussion," said Samson.


"I told him, 'As a player, I want to play'. I had a chance to play in the final. I was told to stay ready. I was ready. However, they decided before the toss that we would go with the same team. I was like, no worries. I was in that type of mood," he added.

Recently, Samson revealed that the Indian management has asked him to play Ranji Trophy as they are planning for him to be a part of the red-ball set-up.
