India have started their Twenty20 International campaign with a convincing win but their key all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja got hit in his head during the game. And, the batsman Sanju Samson has shared that he was feeling dizzy after returning to the dressing room during the innings break. Notably, Jadeja was knocked on the head by a bouncer during the final over and after that, Yuzvendra Chahal replaced him which didn’t go well with many as well.
“He got hit on the helmet in the last over (off Mitchell Starc) and when he came back to the dressing room, he was asked by the physio (Nitin Patel) how he felt. He (Jadeja) said that he was feeling a little dizzy,” Samson told media persons during the post-match virtual media conference.
However, this was this reason that’s why Ravindra Jadeja was substituted with Chahal. However, he also praised Chahal’s bowling who helped India win the game and adjudged the Player of the Match with a three-wicket haul.
“That is the standard that has been set by this team. The quality of players is so high that anytime you ask, they are ready. Chahal grabbed his chance and it was a great lesson for everyone that they need to be ready all the time,” Samson further added.
Meanwhile, Samson, who made his debut for India way back in 2014, didn’t get much opportunity to showcase his talent and calibre. But he said that he is not under any kind of pressure and will try to help his side win every game.
“A few years back I would have said yes (pressure factor) to that question. But now I have played a few matches for India and have been around good people, who have helped keep a positive mindset. The idea is to keep it simple and focus is to win every game for India,” Samson concluded.
As far as Jadeja is concerned, he has been ruled out of the rest of the T20I series. Right-arm pace bowler Shardul Thakur has been named as the replacement.
