Sanju Samson endured an off day with the bat, and a mixed outing on the field during India’s series opener against Sri Lanka at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. Samson fell cheaply and dropped a catch which did not impress former India captain Sunil Gavaskar. Throughout his career, the one narrative that has gone hand-in-hand with Samson is how time and again, he fails to justify the insurmountable amount of talent which he possesses, with Gavaskar pointing out exactly that.
“And this time, it’s the leading edge going to short third man. He is such a fine player. Sanju Samson has so much of talent but his shot selection sometimes lets him down. And this is one more occasion where it has disappointed,” Gavaskar said on air.
