India, March 1 -- Cometh the hour. Cometh the man. Sanju Samson possibly played a career-defining knock on Sunday, taking India into the T20 World Cup semi-finals. The right-handed batter from Kerala hit an unbeaten 97 to help India chase down the target of 196 in the must-win Super 8s Group 1 match against the West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata with five wickets in hand and four balls to spare. Samson's knock was so great that even the chase master Virat Kohli would approve. Through the course of his knock, Samson registered the highest ever individual score for a batter for India in a run chase in T20 World Cups, surpassing 8 not out by Virat Kohli against Australia in Mohali in 2016 and against Pakistan in Melbourne in 2022.
