India has entered the semi-finals by defeating West Indies in the Super-8 match of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. However, after this victory, the discussion is not only about the scoreline but also about the celebration. In this match played at Eden Gardens on March 1, Team India needed big shots in the last overs to win and Sanju Samson took up this responsibility. Sanju Samson won the match for India by scoring a brilliant unbeaten 97 runs in a pressure-filled match.
Captained innings played under pressure
Sanju batted with patience in difficult conditions and scored unbeaten 97 runs and returned to the pavilion after leading the team to victory. This inning was not only big in statistics, but was also very important in the context of the match. As soon as the last run was scored, he took off his helmet and threw it in the air and started thanking God. The spectators present on the ground welcomed this moment enthusiastically, but now this reaction is under question.
Can Sanju get trapped in ICC rules?
Under the rules of cricket, throwing a bat or helmet on the field in this manner can be considered against the spirit of the game. The International Cricket Council i.e. ICC gives strict guidelines regarding the on-field behavior of players. If a player’s celebration falls under the category of ‘improper conduct’, he may be fined match fee or demerit points.
This has happened before too
This is not the first time that the celebration of an Indian player has come under scrutiny. In the Indian Premier League match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore, LSG’s Avesh Khan threw his helmet on the ground after winning the match, due to which he was given an official warning.
Now look at the semi-finals
At present, no official response has come in this matter, but it is a matter of relief for Team India that this victory has taken them to the semi-finals. Where there will be a clash with England on March 5 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
