Sanju Samson is leaving no stone unturned as the Rajasthan Royals captain hopes to make an impression in the upcoming Ireland series. Samson has been in and out of the Indian side ever since his debut in 2015, featuring in a meagre 13 T20Is. The Kerala-born batsman has struggled to score big runs and nail down his place in the past but will eye to do so starting Sunday.

As per The Telegraph, till early this week, Samson had been training in Dubai and working on certain aspects of his game, honing his skills before leaving for Dublin. It certainly underlines Samson’s thirst for improvement, while highlighting his work ethic, attitude and professionalism.

The Kerala-born batsman sought the help of RR youth academy head Sid Lahiri, who was seen giving throwdowns to Samson during training. The Rajasthan Royals captain seemed to be working on adjusting to the pace of the Ireland wickets while trying to play a lot of the backfoot.

Samson faces some stiff competition from Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik all considered vital in India’s T20I plans. The lack of middle-order slots means that the 27-year-old is also vying alongside the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav. However, like Dinesh Karthik, Samson still harbours hopes for a comeback and like the Tamil Nadu veteran, he has worked hard to improve on his skills.

India tour of Ireland: Last chance for Samson to prove his mettle 
  • Big performance is what the selectors would be hoping for from Samson against Ireland.
  • In the T20Is that he played, Samson has just scored 174 runs at a dismal average of 14.5.
  • The right-hand batter has not been able to translate his humungous potential at the international level
  • Samson is a quality player with an array of shots. But he throws his starts away by playing one shot too many
  • With only a handful of T20Is set to be played before the T20 World Cup, Samson has to score big in order to find a spot for the showpiece event
  • He had a good IPL 2022 season as he scored 458 runs in 17 games at a strike rate of 146.79
