T20I Series: We Were Three Wickets Down; Was Very Important To Build A Partnership With Riyan, Says Samson
Harare Sports Club: After India beat Zimbabwe by 42 runs to win the five-match T20I series 4-1, vice-captain Sanju Samson said it was very important for him to build a partnership with Riyan Parag and take the visitors to a fighting total after losing three wickets in Power-play.
At the Harare Sports Club, Samson top-scored with a 45-ball 58 and shared a 65-run stand off 56 balls for the fourth wicket with Riyan Parag to take India to a competitive 167/6 in 20 overs. In reply, India, led by Mukesh Kumar’s 4-22, bowled out Zimbabwe for 125 in 18.3 overs as the visitors got a strong series win after losing the opening match by 13 runs.
“We were three wickets down, so it was very important for me to build a partnership with Riyan, which we did, and then we got to a reasonable total to fight for the game. Our bowlers bowled really well. Honestly, you can't teach them much (about team bonding).”
