T20WC: SANJU SAMSON KE 3 100s BHOOL JAAOGE, 97* TOH START HAI, 'SANJU HAS MONSTROUS ABILITY': ASHWIN

T20 World Cup delivered a high-octane thriller on Sunday as India locked horns with the West Indies cricket team in a must-win encounter at the iconic Eden Gardens. With a coveted semi-final berth hanging in the balance, the pressure was immense, the stakes sky-high, and the atmosphere electric. Rising to the occasion in spectacular fashion, Sanju Samson produced one of the finest knocks of the tournament, remaining unbeaten on 97 off just 50 deliveries. Displaying a perfect blend of composure and calculated aggression, Samson paced his innings to perfection and fittingly struck the winning runs in the final over, sealing India’s place in the last four. As tributes poured in for the match-winning knock, former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin highlighted a specific moment that, in his view, defined Samson’s greatness. Speaking on his YouTube show Ash Ki Baat, Ashwin dissected the technical brilliance behind Samson’s strokeplay, particularly praising the backfoot slice off Romario Shepherd. While the towering loft over extra cover drew applause, Ashwin described the delicate slice — executed with soft hands yet racing past the deep fielder — as the true shot of the day. He emphasized Samson’s extraordinary bat speed, control, and timing, noting that when the Kerala batter finds his balance and rhythm, he becomes virtually unstoppable — a sentiment echoed by former West Indies great Ian Bishop. #sanjusamson #ashwin #sanju #indiavswestindies #cricket #sports #teamindia #t20worldcup2026 #t20worldcup sanju samson t20 world cup india vs west indies sanju samson batting sanju samson 97* vs west indies india vs west indies t20wc highlights ind vs wi ind vs wi highlights ashwin ashwin on sanju samson team india sanju samson 97* vs wi t20wc 2026 sanju has monstrous ability sanju samson bat speed sanju samson ipl sanju samson on 97* sanju samson batting vs west indies trending india in semfinal semifinal Visit https://thesportstak.com for lightning-fast live scores, special updates, highlights, and specific statistics
