“It Felt Like Sanju Samson Is God’s Gift”: Ex-India Opener Makes Explosive Comment | Cricket News

Sanju Samson is a cricketer who enjoys an enormous following among the many followers. During India’s excursions to international locations like Ireland and Zimbabwe, there have been followers chanting his title and demanding his inclusion within the taking part in XI. Although the wicket-keeper batsman missed the T20 World Cup attributable to harm, there have been followers on social media who insisted that he might have been a significant component for India within the match the place Rohit Sharma and Co have been crushed within the semi-finals. Former India cricketer Aakaash Chopra weighed in on Samson’s large recognition and the notion surrounding the younger cricketer.

“During the Sanju Samson phase it felt as if he is God’s gift to Indian cricket. People said ‘Play him and everything will fall in place. We would have even won the World Cup final’. They wouldn’t realise that the bowlers had an off day or that Karthik or Pant would have played in front of him. But in reality, his batting wouldn’t have made any difference. The atmosphere was such that if Samson had played, we could have done this and that,” Chopra advised YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia on ‘TRS Clips’.

Chopra lauded Samson for his pure capability on the sector but in addition identified that the teenager from Kerala was not in a position to take the possibilities that got to him. In a scenario the place Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan have been performing effectively, Chopra mentioned that Samson didn’t have a lot hope.

“Indian cricket is interesting. Like it or hate it, but the fact is that the atmosphere creates perception, and that is sometimes stronger than the truth. Sanju has a cult following – we live in a digital world. Where he comes from, it is very obvious that place and region has a digital presence. When he plays well, he makes batting look easy. He is pleasing on the eyes, took his team to Ranji final, IPL final. Got some opportunities for India but didn’t make the most of it. And this is a reality that fans do not understand. Sanju realises it that he is going to get limited opportunities in the current set-up.”

“There is just no place in the XI. Ishan Kishan scored a double century and yet we didn’t give him the next few matches. When he did, he was asked to bat at No. 5. There isn’t a place. And it’s not because KL Rahul wasn’t available. Had he been available, he would have still sat out. So that is the level of quality that is available. When the opportunity comes, just grab it away. If you throw it away for whatever reason, then you regret,” the previous Indian cricket crew opener defined throughout the present.
