Sanju Samson found himself missing yet another opportunity to shine as he was dismissed cheaply in the 2nd IND vs SA ODI. Coming in to bat at number 5, Samson managed to knock around the ball and score just 12 runs before he was bowled over by Hendricks. With an uncertain future when it comes to his inclusion in the XI, Sanju’s latest failure does not help in any manner but defer future selections.
Yet another failure for Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson’s journey to another comeback
Sanju Samson’s last on-field appearance was donning the Kerala jersey in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023, where he contributed to his team’s campaign. Now, with the national colors beckoning, the batsman is gearing up for a crucial series, eyeing not just personal redemption but also setting the stage for the T20 World Cup in 2024.
Regrettably for Sanju Samson, his performance hasn’t reached its peak in the domestic 50-over competition. Despite being Kerala’s Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023 top scorer with 293 runs, he didn’t secure a spot among the top 20 run-scorers in the tournament. Despite notching up a century and a fifty in eight innings, his average remained below 50.
