Sanju Samson, despite his talent and IPL success, struggled in international T20s until a sudden burst of form with three centuries in five innings. However, inconsistency and a finger injury led to a middling IPL season and questions about his place in the team. With Shubman Gill’s return and Abhishek Sharma’s strong performances, Samson may have to settle for a reserve role. Suggestions for him to bat at No. 3 are countered by the success of Tilak Varma in that position. Jitesh Sharma, with impressive IPL performances, may have the edge over Samson for a spot in the team. Samson’s absence from recent training sessions could indicate his position in the pecking order. While it may be disappointing for Samson, he must understand the team’s priorities and stay prepared for any opportunities that may come his way. His future in the team remains uncertain, but he must continue to work hard and be ready to prove himself whenever called upon.
