What are Sanju Samson's struggles on the international stage?
While Samson has shown remarkable form in the IPL, his performance on the international stage has been less consistent. His recent outings in the T20I series against Sri Lanka, where he failed to score in two consecutive matches, have brought his international career under scrutiny once again.
Samson acknowledged the challenges he has faced, saying, "In the last series against Sri Lanka, I didn't perform as expected."
One constant in Samson’s career has been the unwavering support from his fans. Whether playing in India or abroad, Samson often receives overwhelming encouragement from cricket lovers, especially Malayalis.
"The support I've received from people across the country, as well as from Malayalis all the way from New Zealand to the West Indies, is amazing. Other team members often say that wherever I go, I have incredible support. That's why they feel disappointed when I don't make it into the team or when I get out for a duck. I have the maturity to understand that," Samsun said.
Through the highs and lows, Sanju Samson continues to work hard, driven by the support of his fans and his passion for the game.
