A lot to learn from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma: Sanju Samson

To share the dressing room with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is a special feeling and Sanju Samson is making the most of it. He tries to learn and understand  the game better by observing the modern greats of the game. More optimistically, Samson also thinks, being a part of the ‘best side in the world’ is not a small thing.

“I looked at the brighter side of things. I got to share the dressing room with legends like Virat bhai and Rohit bhai and there is a lot to learn from them even if we just observe the way they handle themselves on and off the ground. And then to be a part of the world’s best cricket team is not a small thing,” he told The Times of India on his time on the bench.
