Sanju Samson’s Poor Form: The ongoing T20 series between India and England has completed three matches, with India leading 2-1. However, Indian opener Sanju Samson has failed to deliver in the series. This poor performance comes despite his impressive form before the series, where he scored three centuries in five innings. Unfortunately, Samson has managed only 34 runs in three matches against England, raising concerns about his place in the team.
Struggles Against Pace Bowlers
In the three matches so far, Samson has scored 26, 5, and 3 runs, getting out all three times to England’s fast bowler Jofra Archer. Archer, who regularly bowls at speeds over 145 km/h, has troubled Samson. Even Mark Wood made things difficult for him.
Need to Improve Technique
Samson has struggled against short-pitched deliveries, a key weapon for fast bowlers. The high bounce generated by England’s pacers has caused problems for him. To succeed at the international level, Samson needs to work on his timing and shot selection.
Lack of Consistency
One major issue with Samson’s game is inconsistency. In the T20 series against South Africa, he scored two centuries but failed to score in the other two matches. The same pattern is visible against England, where he has struggled to build big innings.
Due to this inconsistency, Team India is not getting the solid starts it needs at the top. Samson must improve his form and technique to retain his place in the team and help India maintain its winning streak.
