Samson names Tilak Varma wicket as turning point in India's 24-run defeat
Sanju Samson said Tilak Varma's dismissal shifted momentum in India's chase during the 24-run defeat to West Indies.
Sanju Samson identified Tilak Varma's dismissal as the turning point in India's 24-run loss to West Indies in the fourth T20I at Hyderabad on Wednesday.
Samson said Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy were building pressure before Varma fell for 43. He backed the team's young fast bowlers, noting Arshdeep Singh and Prince Yadav need more matches to improve after conceding 52 runs each.
The defeat levelled the series at 2-2. The final match is set for Saturday in Bengaluru.
CricHubb Take
Samson's defence of the young pace attack, rather than the batting collapse, shows the team views this loss as a bowling execution issue that time and opportunity can fix.
