The India batter made the remarks after delivering a powerful innings against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, offering a confident response amid another uncertain phase in his international career.

Samson, 31, struck a blistering 57 off 22 deliveries during India's chase of 160 in the second T20I of the series. His innings was marked by aggressive strokeplay and a fearless approach against the Afghanistan attack. The knock came at a time when Samson's position and recent form had again become subjects of discussion following a series of inconsistent opportunities and performances for the national side.

The batter's recent international journey has included both significant highs and difficult setbacks. At the business end of the year's T20 World Cup, Samson enjoyed an outstanding run and was named Player of the Tournament after scoring 321 runs in five innings. However, only three months later, his tour of the United Kingdom proved disappointing, with scores of 5, 0 and 1 in two matches against Ireland and one against England.

Following that difficult run, Samson made way for teenage batting prospect Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Though he returned for the fifth and final T20I against England, he was subsequently omitted from the squad for the tour of Zimbabwe. The sequence of events underlined the fluctuating nature of his international career, in which strong performances have often been followed by questions over selection and consistency.

Despite the attention surrounding those developments, Samson said he does not spend too much time following the debate. "I try to turn off the Wi-Fi. But sometimes the Wi-Fi turns on and I see the comments of the senior players. It's very normal. I think it's their choice," he said. His comments reflected an acknowledgment that players inevitably come across opinions and remarks, while also indicating that he prefers not to let them dictate his approach or affect his confidence.

The innings against Afghanistan allowed Samson to shift the focus back to his batting. His 22-ball 57 demonstrated the attacking ability that has made him a valued T20 batter, particularly when he is able to play with freedom and impose himself on the bowling. While questions over his role and future opportunities remain part of the wider discussion, Samson's latest performance showed his determination to concentrate on what happens in the middle rather than respond to the noise outside it.
