India performed very well in the T20 World Cup and won against Zimbabwe quite convincingly at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on February 26. India batted first and scored 256 runs, while Zimbabwe could manage only 184 runs in response to the opponent's score. India's batting was appreciated, and particularly how the Indian openers began the innings. Sanju Samson, who replaced Rinku Singh, scored 24 runs off 15 deliveries. Again, he could not score heavily.

Following Team India's impressive win, former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, "I'll look at this in two ways. First, Sanju Samson is a guy I know and what he can do. Second, Samson is for the Indian team. This team handled the opening partnership in this World Cup, in this game. We got a better start.

If Sanju can give me 15-ball 28s, 16-ball 30s from here to the final, he'll have done a good job for the team. He could have scored a big score, but he's done his job." Ashwin also expressed another personal wish for Samson. He hopes he'll build on his starts as the tournament progresses.
