Sanju Samson Fails at Home Ground; T20 World Cup Spot in Jeopardy?
- •Sanju Samson scored a run-a-ball six in his 'home' game at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, against New Zealand.
- •He was dismissed by Lockie Ferguson, caught by Bevon Jacobs, leading to a hush in the stadium.
- •Samson has struggled in the series, scoring only 46 runs from five innings at an average of 9.20.
- •His poor form puts his spot for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at risk, with Ishan Kishan as a strong contender.
- •India has one practice game against South Africa at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, before the World Cup.
Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's continued poor form, especially at home, jeopardizes his T20 World Cup 2026 selection.
