Indian batter Sanju Samson admitted that outside noise impacts him on a human level, but added that experience has helped him block it out and focus on his cricket. His comments came after India secured a seven-wicket victory against Afghanistan in the second T20I, taking a 2-0 series lead in the three-match series.

Reflecting on the challenges of representing the national side and the tough selection decisions that come with it, Samson backed the team management's decisions, citing young prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's inclusion as a prime example of putting the team first.
