Dubai: After the brilliant unbeaten knock of 97 by Sanju Samson that helped Team India enter the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, the opener took to social media to thanks his fans.

“Just wanted to reach out and convey my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who showed love, support and kept me in prayers. Seeing and experiencing so much love coming my way truly means a lot,” Samson wrote on social media.

“Just want to say — Thank you all. Two more steps to go, India,” he added.
