‘Gives hope’: Team India rookie satisfied Sanju Samson has been given enough time to perform


Samson’s recent performance against Bangladesh came after quite a few disappointing outings.

India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson recently hit a fiery century during the series finale between India and Bangladesh.

Sanju’s tremendous knock of 111 (47) helped India post a mammoth total of 297 for 6 and ultimately seal a massive victory by 133 runs. In the process, the Men in Blue claimed a 3-0 victory in the T20I leg, after edging out the Bangla Tigers 2-0 in the Test series.

However, Samson’s performance came after quite a few disappointing outings.

Sanju kept wickets in the Bangladesh T20I series and opened the innings for India. However, he initially failed to take advantage of the opportunities and passed away after a good start.

Samson also came into the series after scoring successive ducks against Sri Lanka and needed runs to back his case.

This clearly demonstrated the Indian team management’s willingness to back its players amidst intense competition and limited spots.

Jitesh Sharma is satisfied with the Indian team’s management style

After Samson’s knock, a rookie in the Indian team spoke about how satisfied he was with the management style.

Jitesh Sharma, who is yet to become a prop and primarily plays a back-up role due to a host of options at the goalkeeper position, was also optimistic about his chances.

India has plenty of wicket-keeping options with the likes of Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, along with candidates like Ishan Kishan and Dhruv Jurel waiting on the sidelines.

Echoing the same line, Jitesh told TOI, “I understand that his first two innings did not go well but I expected him to score because I have seen Sanju’s hard work and he too had a good IPL season. It was good to see the Indian team backing Sanju and giving him opportunities to play. Seeing that gives hope to those who are not in the eleven, knowing that when their time comes they will receive the same support.”
