India vs Sri Lanka: Contributing positively to team's success means a lot, says Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson expressed happiness after his knock helped Team India defeat Sri Lanka in the second T20I on Saturday. Shreyas Iyer smashed a stylish fifty before Ravindra Jadeja slammed 45 in 18 balls to help India defeat Sri Lanka in the second T20I by seven wickets on Saturday. Samson also played a knock of 39 runs off 25 balls to help his side clinch the victory.

"I think the wicket was playing really well. The outfield is flying, boundaries short at this ground. When we were in good rhythm we knew this is easily chasable. 10 per over at this ground isn't a huge task. The partnership with Shreyas Iyer helped me take extra time to get the rhythm back. We both have played enough cricket to understand who is going well and who needs time. I wanted to go after the bowling, but the rhythm wasn't there for the starting 10-12 balls," said Samson in a post-match presentation.
