@AnishSh01244832@ImRohanGulavani Calling him a flat track bully is a stretch as he has performed with 108 in Paarl! or 107 in Durban! or an unbeaten 86 in tough conditions (where Gill, Dhawan , Ishan, Ruturaj all struggled) . These are just few of many knocks under tougher non-flat conditions and situations.
@Soulxslayer8@rajasthanroyals Do you think the coach and support staff didn't play a major role in toss plan ? There are discussions before the match where captains are told regarding the conditions and the decision on winning the toss. Sanga himself has spoken about that decision.
@Naadansoul Sanju needs to have a good or atleast average SMAT to prevent the selectors from trying any funny business for the upcoming series (But Gambhir will back Sanju i hope).
Sanju is a good captain. But if KER team fails , it will be used by detractors to question his credibility
@RR_for_Lifee@RajeshSreerag That's a stretch , he had left because of being emotionally drained from a poor injury filled season and already there was rift with management on Buttler release . With Vaibhav also there it's an easy call for sanju as RR can easily move on without him (almost final in 2026)
@RajeshSreerag He left because of management releasing Buttler + a worst injury filled season + The fact that new
talents like Vaibhav is also there now .
It was the perfect time to leave (even if 2025 season didn't go well for RR) as RR could do without him (2026-RR did nearly reach final).
@beliivee_@lal__kal The first half of those games were just mostly samson getting shuffled out of position here and there .
He proved himself with centuries when given proper backing after 2024 WC. He might be inconsistent but he has show his impact and skill in multiple T20 and ODI knocks .
@beliivee_@lal__kal He has 3 T20i centuries in the yr when he was backed. One of them came vs South Africa in Durban where everyone else struggled due to the bounce and conditions. He's the first indian to score back to back 100s in T20i.
Call him inconsistent, but calling him mid is inaccurate.
@paradiselostsk@Rajiv1841 Samson didn't get a single international game in those gaps , one of his most important years as a junior part of under 19 setup and who performed well for IND A ,was just 19 years old when he scored 244 runs with a stunning average of 81.33 in Quad , still he had to wait 6 years
@paradiselostsk@Rajiv1841 Sanju Samson Career timeline:
Debut : 2015
Second innings : 2020!
ODI debut : 2021
After smashing a strong AUS A in quadrangular in 2014 for IND A with 244 runs and 81.33 avg! , he had to wait for 6 years.
And some still try to deny lack of support which affected growth

@AllElseIs_Taken@87__Off__25@Ishanworld32 It was also revealed that Samson was emotionally exhausted after an injury filled poor campaign and contacted him.
He agreed to give RR full control to choose the release or deals (they chose CSK deal, not Samson ) . If RR isn't satisfied he also agreed on getting retained.
@AllElseIs_Taken@87__Off__25@Ishanworld32 Stop spreading misinformation that he was betraying and dealing with CSK .
RR owner (at that time) revealed in an interview that RR was the one who dealed with the Franchises including the trade to CSK, not Samson
Genuine RR fans know Sanju is the last one to betray.
@Lawscient_@gullypoint_ There was no lucky catch drop in samson 67 vs NZ . Stop spreading misinformation π .
But West Indies match did have a catch drop.
Talking about consistency, samson has most 50+ scores in recent matches after Asian games (where he was made to bat out of position)
@ArjunkaRishu Who are these sources π. Pant is one of those players outside the legends to have such a huge backing. Pant got one of the longest chances in white ball . Ojha is also a Pant Paglu.
@klassic_prasant Pant π. He is good at test but completely failed in white ball compared to the amount of backing he got.
Saying this as someone who is interested in Wicketkeeper batsman players . I used to really watch Pant hoping that he will reach that potential. Pant accident also affect
@SunilJo71782657@mufaddal_vohra The Yamal comparison is fundamentally flawed. When Yamal got a chance to be a regular, the experienced players already were gone and there was a clear gap for him . Also age factor is more important in football as it's much more physically intense (especially compared to T20).
@EmpireSurbhi Wicketkeeping is one of the shields saving samson from being out from squad . His T20i Keeper stats are a an example , when compared to currently playing Indian wicket keepers.
There are more moments of brilliance and lesser fumbles (Asian games had such fumbles) .
@EmpireSurbhi Samson is inconsistent with the Bat, but calling him a poor Wk is crazy.
Other than that Asian games final , samson is good behind the stumps. Even in the asian games semi final he had a diving catch and few good stops . Also Gill, Klaasen stumping -2026 IPL, 2026 WC catch.
