Samson credits Sachin Tendulkar for guiding him to T20 WC glory

Ahmedabad, March 8 (UNI) Sanju Samson’s triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is as much a story of mentorship as it is of talent, with Sachin Tendulkar playing a pivotal role behind the scenes.
The Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman, named Player of the Tournament, revealed that constant guidance from the legendary cricketer helped him navigate periods of self-doubt and career uncertainty.
"When I was sitting outside in Australia, not playing a game, I reached out to Sachin sir to understand the mindset required. We had huge conversations, and even yesterday he called to check how I was feeling. Getting guidance from someone like him — what more can I ask for?" Samson said.
