Durban. Wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson, who has been in and out of the Indian team continuously, has performed well in the last few series. After scoring a T20 century against Bangladesh, he also scored a century in South Africa. India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson said that his initial failures in international cricket had made him doubt his abilities. With the support of the captain and coach, he was successful in making a strong comeback.
Samson played a brilliant inning of 107 runs on 50 balls in the first T20 match against South Africa on Friday. Thanks to this inning, India won the match by 61 runs. Samson said after the match, “I have faced many failures in my career. I think when you go through that failure, a lot of doubts arise in your mind. Social media definitely plays its role as well.
He said, “You also think a lot about yourself.” Sanju, are you not made for the international level? I think you are doing well in IPL. Why are you not performing well at the international level? That’s why many such questions were arising in my mind. But after so many years of experience, I knew what I could do.
Samson said, “If I spend some time at the crease, I have the ability to hit shots on spin and fast bowlers. I know that I can definitely contribute well to the team. I can win the match. This is also a reality. There are definitely a lot of ups and downs, but the upside is also really good. I kept telling myself this.
