Know what Samson said?

Sanju Samson told the broadcaster, “An incredible experience, when after the last ball of the 20th over we won the final in Barbados and I can remember myself, as I really could not stop smiling for the next one or two hours. The emotions were so high. So I think that, I believe that I was very lucky to be a part of such an amazing team.”

Samson further said, especially considering how we played this World Cup. I think it was a complete team effort. I think it was 11 to 12 people in total who played. All of them contributed something important. So it was a great team and everyone put in effort.
