Aakash Chopra asks Sanju Samson how he plans on countering Jofra Archer threat?

Sanju Smason has been dismissed thrice by Jofra Archer in the IND vs ENG T20I series

Ace India Cricket Team batter Sanju Samson has not been in his very best form off late. The star batter has been unable to fire well in the ongoing series. Now, former India opener Aakash Chopra has questioned how he would react given that Jofra Archer would be raring to go at him once again.

In the past 3 games, Samson has been dismissed by ace pacer Jofra Archer in the IND vs ENG T20I series. The Indian opener has been unable to play the short-pitched deliveries and has gifted easy catches to the opposition.

How will you react?

“Let’s talk about Sanju Samson. It’s now the fourth match. Jofra Archer will once come against you, and there will be added pressure, expectation and responsibility that now how are you going to react?” Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

Aakash Chopra has asked a simple and straight question to Sanju Samson. The former has asked the latter how he plans on countering the Jofra Archer threat. Adding more misery to Samson is his inability to score runs in the last two matches. At Chennai and Rajkot, the ace batter was dismissed for single-digit scores.

Samson has been given the opening spot in the T20I squad where he squares off with Abhishek Sharma. While Samson isn’t a part of the ICC Champions Trophy squad, he is a pivotal member of the team in the shortest format of the game. The Men in Blue would be desperately wanting Samson to fire on all cylinders to help India clinch the series in Pune.
