- An unbeaten 97 off 50 against a formidable West Indies side that lifted India from the cusp of capitulation at the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup has to be counted as his finest yet.
- Such was the occasion that one might wish the Windies had posted a little more than 195/4 because there were four balls left and Sanju had deserved a hundred.
- Yet this double-digit score would weigh heavier than his four international centuries, because had he made the ton and not got India over the line, none of it would have mattered.
