Your daily dose of cricket!
Sanju Samson has the No. 3 Signing position for India in the Asia Cup
Shubman Gill was mentioned in the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2025; However, it led Sanju Samson to sacrifice his opening place in the Indian who played XI. Samson played astonishing for India in 2024, because he scored three stunning hundreds for the men in blue.
Gautam Gambhir has never unveiled a correct stroke position for the Indian Wicket keeper fittings. Samson, however, was cited as a number 3 battman in the Indian who played XI. Although Suryakumar Yadav played for India for India in the previous two games, this was the first time that a glimpse of Samson was seen in the top order.
Samson scored half a century of 41 balls and drew comparisons with the former Indian Great Virat Kohli. Kohli settled as a number 3 seizure and served as a dominant force in the Indian T20i top order over the years.
This was the slowest half century ever for Sanju in his T20i career, but it came under difficult circumstances, when Indian batters regularly lost wickets of the other end.
Abhishek Sharma scores three 30s in a row, but lacks any milestone innings
The Indian opener Abhishek Sharma surpassed different greats of the game at the top of the Indian Batting order. Abhishek is an explosive opener, because he made up for his reputation to give a fast start in the shortest size of the game.
In every match of the Asia Cup 2025, Abhishek scored 30 and beat a success rate of around 200. Also in this match against Oman, Abhishek Sharma 38 scored only 15 balls, with 5 four and 2 sixes. Although he is doing well, he did not succeed in reaching a milestone in the tournament so far.
This is how fans responded to Sanju Samson’s Knock vs Oman:

I don’t know why there is so much criticism, even legend King Kohli had played so much of such bumps in serious circumstances.
Sanju Samson is praised by Pakistani Hazem Akram, but some Indians cannot stop spreading unnecessary hatred 😔– Indian Funda (@safehands_sanju) September 19, 2025
Abhishek Sharma ensured that we don’t miss Rohit Sharma.
Sanju Samson ensured that we did not miss Virat Kohli.
Suryakumar Yadav ensured that we did not miss Mrs. Dhoni.All 3 fandoms are happy. 😭

Yes, I think the same thing, after the retirement of Kohli from T20’s he has to do that work and just through one end, he is good enough to catch up with the slab rate at any time. Abhishek, Sky, Samson, Hardik, Dube, Axar We have so many Power Hitters in the Line -Up. https://t.co/RQRM7M4BQC

The knock Sanju Samson played today when it was played by Virat Kohli and Kl Rahul, you know the results. And the hatred they get on online platforms is unreal, even some cricketers they troll. Just think about it. #Asiacup #Indvsomn #Suryakumaryadav.
