Sanju Samson stunning knock after a rocky start to the series. In the first T20I, he scored only 10 runs. Earlier this year, Sanju Samson scored 33 runs in four innings against Ireland and England. Selectors dropped him from the XI in favor of fresh prospect Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

Following Samson heroics in the second T20I, veteran India bowler Mohit Sharma stated that people assess the wicketkeeper-batsman too hastily.

Kaif emphasizes Sanju Samson consistency challenge.

Former India batsman Mohammed Kaif also commented on Samson situation, recognizing both his extraordinary talent and the consistency concerns that have defined his career.

Kaif observed that Samson’s difficulty resided not in his ability, but in maintaining form over numerous innings. He cited Samson’s supremacy against spin bowling, notably against world-class spinners such as Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, as an area where few batsmen could match his abilities.
