Sanju Samson: When will Sanju Samson score? This is a question which every Indian cricket fan needs the answer to before the start of the T20 World Cup. Sanju Samson failed miserably in the T20 series against New Zealand, he did not score even a half-century in five matches. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan, who joined the team, scored a lot of runs. This player played four matches in the series and scored one century and one half-century from his bat. In such a situation, it seems difficult for Sanju Samson to stay in the playing eleven, but let us tell you that this player still has one more chance. If Sanju Samson scores runs in the warm-up match against South Africa, then the circumstances may be in his favor.
It is important for Sanju to score runs
Team India has to play a warm-up match against South Africa on Wednesday in Navi Mumbai. It is said that this is a warm-up match but all the tickets for this match have been sold. According to reports, 35 thousand tickets have been sold, which means the house is going to be full here too. Sanju Samson can also be given a chance in the warm-up match, even if he plays explosive innings against South Africa, it is possible for him to remain in the playing eleven.
Sanju’s poor performance in T20 series
Sanju Samson performed very poorly in the five-match T20 series against New Zealand. This player scored only 46 runs in 5 matches. His batting average was 9.2. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan staked his claim in the playing eleven by scoring 215 runs in 4 matches at an average of 53.75. Now for Sanju, the warm-up match against South Africa is no less than a final. If he scores runs here, he can make a place in the starting playing eleven. Initially, Team India has to play matches against USA and Namibia and it will be easy for Sanju Samson to score runs against these two. Now it remains to be seen whether Samson’s bat scores runs or not.
