Suryakumar Yadav bats for Sanju Samson amid controversy

Aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has abundance of talent. However, he has been in and out of the team due to inconsistent performances.

The aggressive cricketer has also not got the proper support from any captain that would have helped his confidence level and ultimately it would have enhanced his performance.

However, things seem to have changed a little bit for Samson in recent times. Following his superlative shows in the last few matches, Samson has started enjoying the support of Team India coach and captain despite few controversies surrounding him.

Team India T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav has expressed full confidence in Samson’s abilities. Suryakumar affirmed that there is no doubt about Samson’s position as the wicketkeeper in the T20I squad.

Samson has been excluded from India’s Champions Trophy squad. He has also faced some recent challenges, including a dispute with the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA). He was not even selected to play for Kerala in the Vijay Hazare Trophy after skipping a three-day camp before the tournament.

Throwing his weight behind Samson, SKY (as Suryakumar is popularly known) said, “There is no question regarding the wicketkeeper position. Sanju has performed exceptionally well in his last few matches and demonstrated his immense potential.”

“Sanju has made the most of every chance he has received, and I am genuinely pleased with his progress,” he added.
