In a chat with Star Sports, Samson admitted that if a guy from Kerala, like him, has to book a spot in India's national team.
"When you are playing cricket in the world's best country... India is no.1 in the world... the number of players, the number of talent, and the competitions we have... a guy from Kerala. If he has to come and cement his place in the national side, he has to do something special," Samson told Star Sports on their show Star Nahi Far.
Speaking of his approach as a batter, Samson said that he always believed in standing out, and wouldn't mind hitting a six on the very first ball he faced.
