India hero Samson reveals 'constant' Tendulkar advice after World Cup win

India’s T20 triumph over New Zealand has been followed by a revelation from wicket-keeping batter Sanju Samson, who credits batting icon Sachin Tendulkar for steering him through the past two months. Speaking after the final, Samson disclosed that Tendulkar’s guidance had been a constant presence during the preparation phase that culminated in the team’s World Cup success. The 29-year-old’s match-turning performances behind the stumps and with the bat were central to India’s campaign, and he underlined how the legendary former captain’s advice helped sharpen his focus ahead of the marquee tournament. While details of their conversations remain private, Samson emphasized that the regular input from Tendulkar played a pivotal role in his personal growth and, by extension, the squad’s collective confidence en route to lifting the trophy.
