According to him, having Rohit and Virat in the team gives a lot of encouragement to all those players.

Sanju Samson told BCCI, ‘Ever since I reached USA, IPL has completely gone out of my mind. This is a different stage and I am telling myself that you are at a place where people dream to reach. I told myself what should I do now? Should I go for a gym session or do something else to recover.

I cannot motivate myself mentally. Everything will happen on its own. However, when you have Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with you, things automatically become very positive. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma motivate you a lot. After this, you do not want to look back at all.

Sanju Samson had a disappointing performance in the warm-up match against Bangladesh

Let us tell you, in the warm-up match against Bangladesh, Sanju Samson returned to the pavilion after scoring just one run. He opened the Indian team with Rohit Sharma but Sanju batted very poorly.
