Sanju Samson in KCL (@Saabir_Saabu01?X.com)
Sanju Samson has been in killer form in the Kerala Cricket League and has scored four consecutive 50-plus scores. It includes a century too, and he has been one of the main reasons for Kochi Blue Tigers' success in KCL 2025.
Sanju Samson Rests Before Departure For Asia Cup 2025
However, the star cricketer is not playing in the 25th match of KCL for Kochi Blue Tigers against Calicut Globstars and a probable reason for it might be Sanju Samson wanting to take some rest before he leaves for Asia Cup on September 4.
He was bit ill at the start of the KCL season and with team in good position now, the batter has probably opted for rest. Thus, Sanju Samson's absence from the playing XI against Calicut is related to his Asia Cup commitments, and the cricketer, in most probability, will not take any further part in KCL 2025.
Sanju Samson Stake His Claim For Opening Spot With KCL Dominance
Overall, Sanju Samson scored 368 runs in five innings at a strike-rate of 186.80 and an average of 73.60 in KCL 2025. He batted in the middle order in the first match where he scored just 13 off 22 balls, but then came out all guns blazing as an opener with 121 off 51 balls. He followed it up with scores of 89, 62 and 83 and has shown the world that he should be one of India's preferred openers in Asia Cup 2025.
His team, Kochi Blue Tigers, have also dominated the proceedings and have won six out of their eight matches so far. They are in a strong position in the ongoing game against Calicut, too, and Sanju Samson's brother Saly has played an inspirational role as captain.
