Sanju Samson's Paradox: Brilliance vs. Inconsistent Runs in T20Is

  • Sanju Samson displays exceptional talent and makes batting look easy on challenging pitches, yet struggles for consistent runs in T20Is.
  • Despite high expectations and undeniable ability, Samson averages less than 25 after 48 T20I innings, leading to questions about his performance.
  • Recent opportunities, including opening against New Zealand, have seen Samson fail to convert starts into significant scores, with a highest of 24.
  • His unique batting technique, while enabling free scoring, also has drawbacks that are magnified during periods of low runs.
  • With Ishan Kishan's strong return and a T20 World Cup approaching, Samson's inconsistent form puts his spot in the Indian team at risk.

Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's immense talent is overshadowed by his inconsistent T20I performances, jeopardizing his international career.
