Sanju Samson showcased his fine wicketkeeping skills on Saturday. The Rajasthan Royals captain donned the gloves in Harare and made a case to do it permanently in an athletic display. In the ninth over of the innings, Samson made a full length dive to help India strike their first wicket.
He followed that up with a good high grab down the leg side leaving no room for error behind the stumps. Such was his accuracy behind the stumps, that the Kerala-born reminded fans of MS Dhoni. Watch the video of his catch here:

Samson’s catch opened the flood gates as the Indian pacer reduced Zimbabwe to just 31/4. Samson caught three of the four catches in a productive outing behind the stumps.
Samson will hope that his performances will catch the eye of the selectors as he faces stiff competition to make a comeback to the Indian team. The 27-year-old was part of India’s tour of West Indies, but was omitted from the Asia Cup 2022 squad with Deepak Hooda making the cut. Amomng keepers, Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik have been preferred.
