'Don't be disheartened, your time will come'; Hitman's advice to Sanju Samson

MUMBAI: From a dismal start during the first matches of the World Cup tournament to being the man of the match in the semifinals against England. Sanju Samson has indeed completed the shift to become India’s trump card in the tournament. The player also won hearts with his humbleness when he offered to give the man of the match award to Bumrah, as he said, if not for the bowler, India would not have reached the finals.

A video of former captain Rohit Sharma visiting the Indian team before the first match in the World Cup is now being discussed. While meeting Sanju, Rohit checks on the youngster and advises him to wait for his time and not be disheartened. The words came true as Sanju, who was not even in the playing eleven during the initial games, is now an unavoidable presence in the team.

Despite playing only four matches in this tournament so far, the Malayali star has already been shortlisted for the Player of the Tournament.
