POTT Sanju Samson:

“It feels like a dream! Very happy, extremely grateful! Just surreal. It all started with the previous World Cup. I couldn’t play any game in the previous edition, but I kept believing in myself and kept the dream alive. I wasn’t sure about things, to be honest, but getting the opportunities, I cashed in on them. I have taken advice from the senior players in the team. I am in constant touch with Sachin Tendulkar sir, getting advice from him…well, what more can I ask for? The moment will have to sink in; a few days will be needed.”
