Cricket fans have long engaged in heated debate about Sanju Samson, the star Indian wicketkeeper-batter. With sporadic appearances and erratic performances, Samson’s international career has been a wild ride.
Despite playing 278 T20 matches since his T20I debut nine years ago, the Kerela native has found it difficult to carry over his IPL success to the international arena. His nine-year career total of just thirty Twenty20 International appearances raises concerns about his potential to take advantage of high-level opportunities. Samson is still upbeat about his work in spite of these difficulties.
In the past three to four months, I’ve had the best career. Being on the World Cup team is something I’ve wanted for three or four years, so it’s like a dream come true. Playing in my final ODI World Cup was my dream. But it wasn’t until I joined the team and won the Twenty20 World Cup that I understood how difficult the job was. But I didn’t play as well as I should have in the most recent series against Sri Lanka’, Samson said to Zed.
Some often remark that I always get amazing support no matter where I go: Sanju Samson
Due to his recent T20I series performance against Sri Lanka, Sanju Samson’s international career is once again under investigation. With the T20I structure, the 29-year-old had a fantastic opportunity to lock down his spot. He scored ducks in both games while batting at No. 3, failing to have any effect. In contrast to his IPL form, where he frequently looks like an entirely different player, he has now been removed without scoring in three of his previous five T20I innings.
He frequently gives the impression that batting in the IPL is easy, displaying a variety of strokes and perfect timing. On the international scene, though, Samson appears to have trouble with pressure and shot selection. The cricket player is motivated to work hard by his supporters’ unwavering support, even if he hasn’t been able to prove his talent on the international scene.

People from all over the nation, even Malayalis from New Zealand to the West Indies, have shown me incredible support. Whenever I go, other team members tell me that I have amazing support. They are therefore sad when I am cut from the team or when I play for a duck. “I am mature enough to comprehend that,” Samson said in closing.
