Sanja Samson Last year had a spectacular year with the bat in T20i cricket. He scored a century against Bangladesh and two against South Africa. However, these scores came as he opened the batting with Abhishek Sharma.
During the Asia Cup 2025, Kerala’s Wicketkeeper-Batter was rejected as Shubman Gill, the new T20i Vice-captain of India, has returned to the setup. While Gill has joined the top of the order at Abhishek, Samson has recorded a new role that struck in the middle.
India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Dochate said that the Samson team management wants to play number 5. However, the former all-rounder of the Netherlands admitted that the 30-year-old should be given some time to adapt to the new Batting position.
“Yes, I think there are two trips now, two decent opportunities and he is still figuring out how to play that role. I think the Wicket was a bit tighter in the Pakistan game. But certainly with the way Shubman and Abishek hit the top of India and the way in which Tilak played 24 September.
“So we believe that Sanju is the best man for that job and we have no doubt that he will find out how he can play that role in the future,” he added.
In the current Asia Cup, Samson only had two chances with the willow. He was promoted to Oman to Oman to no. 3. The Pulluvila born in Pulluvila spent a considerable amount of time in the middle and ended with a score of 56 out of 45 balls, in which three four and so many sixes hit. Samson was nowhere near his smooth best.
Samson also had the chance to hit Pakistan in the most recent match of India. Batting at no. 5, the right -handed Slagman could only manage 13 runs of 17 balls.
