Sanju Samson Career: Indian team’s wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has been in great form for some time now and he has performed brilliantly for Team India. In the first match against South Africa, he managed to impress everyone with his batting. Early in his career, Sanju was in and out of the team and also got more opportunities. While he was doing well in the IPL, his bat was quiet in international cricket. He has also been a member of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup 2024. His fortunes then changed in the series against Bangladesh.
Sanju has a golden opportunity to do wonders
Sanju Samson played a brilliant innings of 111 runs against Bangladesh. After this his good batting continued against South Africa as well and he scored 107 runs. In doing so, he became the first Indian to score a century in two consecutive T20I matches. Now the second T20 match between India and South Africa will be played on November 10. If Sanju scores a century in this match, he will score a century in 3 T20I matches in a row. With this his name will be recorded in the pages of cricket history. Because till date in the history of T20 international cricket, no batsman has been able to score three centuries in a row.
Scored more than 7000 runs in T20 cricket
Sanju Samson made his T20 International debut for the Indian team in 2015. Since then, he has scored 701 runs in 34 T20 Internationals for the team, including two centuries and two half-centuries. Meanwhile, his highest score has been 111 runs. He is also playing 16 ODI matches. If we look overall in T20 cricket, Sanju has 7048 runs in his name.
Team India will be eyeing to win the series
Team India has won the first T20 match against South Africa to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Now, by winning the second match, the Indian team will want to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Apart from Sanju Samson, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Rinku Singh could not play big innings in the first match. Now the responsibility of performing well in the second T20 will be on these batsmen.
