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.
