Sanju Samson once again misses the opportunity to hit fours. In the second T20 against West Indies, Sanju had a chance to strengthen his claim for the Asia Cup. But, Sanju could not capitalize on this opportunity and was dismissed for 7 runs in the process of scoring quick runs. Samson is counted among India’s most talented batsmen of the current era. But his performance lacks consistency. At first he doesn’t get opportunities and when the team management gives Sanju a chance, he squanders it, showing constant confidence. In such a situation, it will be difficult for him to make a place in the Asia Cup team, let alone the World Cup.

Sanju Samson got a chance to show his skills in the T20 series. Because KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are unlikely to be fit for the Asia Cup. In such a situation, there is a chance to pick Sanju in the middle order. In such a scenario, if he had batted well in the T20 series against West Indies, he would have had a chance to cement his place in the Asia Cup as well as the World Cup squad.
Sanju Samson missed a four on the spot
However, the T20I series against West Indies is not yet over but Sanju missed two chances. Chasing 150 runs in the first match, Sanju was run out. In the second match he lost his wicket in the process of scoring quick runs. Sanju and Suryakumar are in contention for the vacant spot in the middle order and both players are out of form. However, there is team management with Surya. He is being seen as an X Factor player.
On the current West Indies tour, Sanju Samson has scored 79 runs in four innings. He scored a half-century in an ODI. Along with this, Suryakumar Yadav has scored 100 runs in 5 innings. Surya could not cross the mark of 50 runs even once.
