Samson Vishwanath, father of T20 World Cup hero Sanju Samson, shares the family’s journey following India’s victory. He reveals leaving his Delhi Police job after Sanju failed to get selected in U-13 trials in Delhi, fearing negative thoughts would affect his son. Moving to Kerala, where cricket had less competition, proved pivotal. Vishwanath recounts a crucial moment before the World Cup when Sanju, after two failed matches, told him ‘I can’t do it’—words he had never heard before. He immediately drove to Goa to sit with his son and discuss the issue. Following that conversation, Sanju returned to his natural batting style, modelled after Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, whom he had followed since childhood. Vishwanath credits Zubin Bharucha and the Rajasthan Royals management for nurturing Sanju’s talent from age 17, emphasising he fulfilled his duty as a father rather than making sacrifices.
