His consistent run-scoring throughout the tournament propelled his team into the playoffs.<br \/>He scored 531 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 153.47 and was fifth in the final <!-- -->Orange Cap<!-- --> standings.<br \/>Samson admitted that amidst the intense pressure of the IPL, he couldn&#8217;t help but ponder about his chances of being selected for the upcoming World Cup.<br \/>\u201cThe IPL itself covered all my mind space, there was a lot to do, a lot to think about. Being the captain of the side, my mind was always occupied. But somewhere in the back of my mind it was there because World Cup selections were also around, it was a huge thing.\u201d<br \/>Reflecting on his recent batting performances, Samson acknowledged that his aggressive intent to make every ball count may have played a role in earning him a spot in the World Cup squad. However, he remained cautious and mindful of potential selection issues as well.<br \/>\u201cOne of the best things that could happen to my career was those shots we keep on playing, and I knew that I had a reasonably good season in the IPL where I do have my chances to get in. But at the same time, I know how tough it is. It depends on what the team wants, and the combination the team and selectors and management are looking for,\u201d he added.<br \/>\u201cBut the moment I got convinced that Sanju you are ready, life and cricket gave back to me. So that\u2019s how I like to look at it &#8211; another great moment,\u201d Samson concluded.<br \/>With in-form <!-- -->Rishabh Pant<!-- --> also in the side, it still remains to be seen whether
