Sanju Samson scored a blistering 43* against Zimbabwe in the 2nd ODI (Twitter)
Sanju Samson is one of the unfortunate cricketers of the present generation. Despite having the talent and the zeal, the batter has failed in making a cut on the big stage. Despite being one of the most talked about cricketers in India, Samson’s international career has been on a decline.
The 27-year-old definitely feels for not getting enough chances but is optimistic about dealing with the tough scenarios. Samson shot to prominence in the domestic circuit for his aggressive yet composed batting style. He was quick to get noticed by the selectors and made his debut for the Men in Blue in 2015.
However, things didn’t go as per plan for the wicketkeeper-batter, as he could never claim a permanent slot in the team. Initially, he had to warm the bench due to the presence of MS Dhoni as the keeper on the team. Post the former skipper’s retirement, one of his contemporaries, Rishabh Pant outshone Samson.
