Former India opener has issued a cautionary statement regarding Sanju Samson’s place in the Indian cricket team following his performance in Gwalior against Bangladesh. Samson, who has been in and out of the squad, struggled to make a significant impact in the recent game, prompting concerns about his consistency.
Speaking on a cricket analysis show, the former opener highlighted Samson’s underwhelming performance, saying, “If Sanju Samson doesn’t improve, they would drop him. Consistency is key at this level, and the team has a lot of options waiting in the wings.”
Samson, who has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, has been under scrutiny for his inconsistency in converting starts into meaningful contributions. With the competition for places in the Indian squad heating up, the pressure is mounting on the talented batter to deliver.
The former cricketer emphasized that with India’s pool of rising talents, the margin for error is shrinking. “There are young players eager to take their chances. If you’re not performing regularly, it’s difficult to hold onto your spot,” he added.
The warning comes as Samson continues to fight for a permanent spot in the Indian team, and fans are eager to see whether he can bounce back and prove his mettle in upcoming matches.
