India’s Decision To Stick With Samson In Top Three Worked Out Really Well, Says Ponting
T20 World Cup: The legendary Ricky Ponting has identified India's decision to persist with wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson at the top of the order as one of the defining calls in their triumphant ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, saying the faith shown in him by captain Suryakumar Yadav and the coaching staff proved to be the difference on the biggest stage.
Samson's tournament began in uncertainty – he had made only 46 runs in five T20Is against New Zealand and only got to play in the league stage game against Namibia in New Delhi due to Abhishek Sharma’s stomach infection. Samson was then recalled for a crucial Super Eights game against Zimbabwe, and from there, he responded with a campaign that ultimately earned him the Player of the Tournament award.
A blazing 97 not out in a virtual knockout game against the West Indies in Kolkata was followed by 89 in the semifinal against England in Mumbai and another knock of 89 in the final against New Zealand in Ahmedabad. His 321 runs across five innings are the most runs made by an Indian batter in a single edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup.
