sanju samson ms dhoni virat kohli roger federer carlos alcaraz: Indian wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has made an interesting comparison between the big players of cricket and tennis. He also expressed his views on the recent World Cup victories of the Indian team and the challenge from the Australian team. When Sanju Samson was asked which cricketer’s style was similar to that of tennis legend Roger Federer, he immediately took the name of former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Samson said that just as Roger Federer looked very calm and graceful on the field without any pressure, MS Dhoni also has the same style. At the same time, he described Virat Kohli as Carlos Alcaraz.
With whom did Samson compare Dhoni-Kohli?
New Delhi. Talking about the similarity between cricket and tennis before Wimbledon, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson compared Mahendra Singh Dhoni to tennis great Roger Federer and described Virat Kohli’s aggressive style as that of Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz. The world’s top tennis players are getting ready for Wimbledon and on this occasion, Samson compared the greats of tennis and cricket.
Samson told ‘Geo Star’, ‘Roger Federer of cricket? He can only be Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He does his work in a very calm and composed manner. He said, ‘Carlos Alcaraz, on the other hand, is very aggressive. Just like Virat Bhai had done in the beginning. Perhaps Virat Kohli can be compared with Alcaraz. This comparison of great Indian cricketers may make tennis fans unhappy, because both are different sports. Tennis is a game with much more strength than cricket.
The Indian women’s team created history by winning its first ODI World Cup and a few months later, the men’s team won the T20 World Cup on home soil. Samson, who scored more than 50 runs in three consecutive matches in the T20 World Cup, was named the player of the tournament during India’s victory and said the success of the women’s team inspired the men.
What did you say about the Women’s World Cup?
Samson said, ‘We were all watching the final. My family members and everyone else were glued to the TV. This was a very special moment for the country. We were waiting for this for a long time. He said, ‘We knew that we could win the World Cup. I was very happy for all the players of the team. There was a lot of hard work behind this. It was a proud moment for all of us.
Samson said, ‘I think very high standards were set for us. They won the World Cup and took us to such a level that we felt we too can do the same in India. It was a great moment that both the World Cups took place in India and we won them. The Indian women’s team is currently playing the T20 World Cup in England and its next match will be against six-time champion Australia.
