He became the toast of India: Atherton on Samson's 97*(50) vs WI

Former England captain Michael Atherton praised India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson after he smashed 97*(50) in their T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight match against the West Indies. "A week ago, Samson was nowhere; on Sunday, he became the toast of India," he said. Atherton added that Samson bats with the "same solidity, stillness and serenity" as Rohit Sharma.
