Sanju Samson Says He Owes His Success to Himself After Overcoming Repeated Setbacks

Thiruvananthapuram: Indian cricketer Sanju Samson said he owes the most gratitude to himself for overcoming repeated setbacks in his career and achieving success at the highest level.

Speaking at an event in Thiruvananthapuram, the World Cup star said his 97-run play against West Indies cricket team remains the best innings of his career. He added that his current focus is simply to play cricket with peace of mind and enjoy the game.

Sanju revealed that he went through severe mental stress following a poor performance in the series against the New Zealand national cricket team. During that difficult phase, he temporarily stayed away from his phone and social media.

He said the support of his wife and close friends helped him regain confidence and find a new direction in his career. According to Sanju, learning how to handle failures and making adjustments to his batting approach ultimately played a key role in his successful performances at the ICC Cricket World Cup.
