Gambhir's hero turned out to be zero in Sri Lanka, now no one can save Sanju!

IND vs SL T20 Series: Team India's wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has undoubtedly been in and out of the national team, the biggest reason for this is considered to be inconsistency. That is, he does not perform well consistently. In such a situation, the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka was very important for him. He could have made a good impression in front of the new head coach Gautam Gambhir by performing in this series, but he wasted these opportunities. Sanju showed such a game that no one had even thought of.

What happened to Sanju Samson on the Sri Lanka tour?

Sanju Samson did not get a chance to play in the first match of this series. After this, in the second match, he entered the playing 11 in place of Shubman Gill. But he was out on the very first ball. After this, a big decision was taken in the third match. Even after Gill's return, he was retained in the team. In such a situation, Sanju Samson, who was constantly in and out of the team, had a big chance to prove himself. But Sanju got out in this match also without opening the account. That is, he is going to return to India without opening his account on the Sri Lanka tour.

Made his place in this shameful list

Sanju Samson is playing as a wicketkeeper in this match. This is the 11th time he has been made a part of the playing 11 as a wicketkeeper in T20 for Team India. During this, he has been out 3 times without opening the account. He is the second player to be out on 0 runs the most number of times in T20 as an Indian wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant is at the top of this list with 0 runs 4 times. But these 4 ducks of his have come in 54 matches.

Out on duck 3 times in last 6 innings

Sanju Samson has been able to score only 1 half-century in the last 6 innings. This half-century came on the Zimbabwe tour. Apart from this, he has also failed to open the account 3 times. If we look at his statistics in T20, he has scored only 444 runs in 30 T20 matches for Team India so far at a poor average of 19.30. Which includes only 2 half-centuries.

Will flopping in front of Gambhir prove costly?

Let us tell you, in the year 2020, Gautam Gambhir had tweeted in support of Sanju. In that tweet, he had said that Sanju Samson is not only the best wicketkeeper batsman in India but he is also the best young batsman in India. Would anyone like to debate? That is, at that time he had raised his voice to get Sanju a place in the team. But now Sanju Samson has performed this poorly in front of him. Whether he will get a chance in the team in the upcoming series or not is a big question. At present, India has many batsmen who can replace Sanju. In such a situation, difficulties are sure to increase for Sanju.
