What did Rohit tell Samson?

Ahead of the mega event, Samson struggled in a five-match T20I series against

New Zealand.

However, Rohit reassured him that he would be an important part of India's campaign.

"Dukhi mat ho bhai. It is a long tournament, kabhi bhi mauka aa sakta hai," ("Don't be disheartened brother. It is a long tournament. You'll get your chance") Rohit had told Samson while embracing him.

Samson made this revelation in a conversation on JioHotStar.
