Sanju Samson has lifted the lid on a private moment with former India captain Rohit Sharma during the T20 World Cup 2026 that kept his hopes alive. Samson, who was out of the playing XI at the time, said Rohit approached him with a bold prediction: ‘You will be back in the side.’
In a recent interview, Samson recalled the conversation that took place in the middle of the tournament. ‘Rohit bhai came up to me and said, ‘Don’t worry, you will be back.’ That gave me a lot of confidence,’ Samson shared.
The opener eventually returned to the team and played a crucial role in India’s campaign. The revelation has sparked widespread discussion among fans, highlighting Rohit’s leadership and mentorship beyond the captaincy.
Samson’s disclosure offers a rare glimpse into the supportive dynamics within the Indian dressing room, where senior players like Rohit continue to inspire even after stepping down as captain.
