Prior to the third One-Day International match between India and South Africa at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi last year, Sanju said on Tuesday that he had been advised to be ready to wear the Indian colours lower in the order.
In the first two ODIs of the current three-match series against South Africa, India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson posted scores of 86 and 30, displaying his recent strong play. Samson’s spirited performance in the opening ODI kept the hosts in the match by scoring a run against all odds. Sanju gave everything he had when Team India was down by nine runs with 30 runs needed in the final over. When wearing India’s colours, the right-handed batter, who is used to batting in the top order, has now begun to bat lower down the order, and the new position suits the batter.
“Yes, I’ve had a variety of duties, and I think over the past few years, I’ve made the required preparations to completely understand the multiple positions I’ll need to play in different teams. I’m having fun with it, “a Star Sports sportscaster, Samson, stated.

“According to the instructions I’ve been given, I’ve had a year to prepare for this closing task. Physically, I’ve been playing top-order hitting, but psychologically, I’ve been getting a better grasp on the game, how to react to different circumstances, and how others have done it masterfully in the past. There has been a lot of historical learning put into this, therefore yes “He continued.
India and South Africa are tied 1-1 in the three-game ODI series.
“I believe the team management, captain, and coach stressed to every player how unique they are and how important it is to continue concentrating on the process.” Sanju Samson remarked.
After Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan played knocks of 113 and 93, respectively, on Sunday in Ranchi, India had levelled the series. This opened the door for chasing down the total of 279 runs.
