'Main kasam khata hu…': Sanju Samson draws fans ire after another failure | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: There has long been a debate regarding Sanju Samson and whether he has been treated unfairly due to his inconsistent selection in the national team. However, critics argue that he has often failed to meet expectations with his performances, leaving fans and selectors wanting more from him.
The Kerala batter managed to score only 29 runs in the first T20I against Bangladesh and endured another failure in the second game of the series on Wednesday.
This lack of form did not sit well with fans, who took to social media to express their frustration and began trolling him.

Earlier, former Indian opener Aakash Chopra emphasized the need for consistency from Samson in upcoming matches, warning that he could be dropped if he does not perform well.

“He is good. He scored 29 runs. My only thing was that since he had reached here, he should go slightly further ahead. He should score a few more runs because, otherwise, they would drop him. He keeps moving in and out (of the side), and up and down (the batting order),” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
Chopra praised Samson’s elegance in his shot-making during the match in Gwalior. He stated, “You need to talk about Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma was playing amazingly well until he got run out, but how well did Sanju play? Gautam Gambhir said long back that if Sanju Samson doesn’t play for India, it’s India’s loss. He was made to open. The silken touch was seen. He wasn’t hitting the ball hard; it seemed like he didn’t want to hurt the ball, and he was hitting one four after another.”
Samson, who made his international debut nine years ago in 2015, will need to step up his performance in the upcoming matches to become a permanent feature in the Indian T20I team.
