India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson revealed that not having much time at the crease with the bat led him to be pumped-up about-facing a pressure situation in the second ODI against Zimbabwe.
In that match, where India were 97/4 in a chase of 162, Samson hit three fours and four sixes to be unbeaten on 43 off 39 balls and shared a 56-run stand with Deepak Hooda (25, including three fours) to get the match in India's favour with 146 balls remaining. He also took the player of the match award as India took an unassailable lead in the three-match series.
