Former Indian cricketer backs struggling Samson
Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar is of the view that Sanju Samson should be allowed a long patch of failures. Indian wicketkeeper-batter Samson went through distressing times in the T20I series against England, registering appalling figures. Meanwhile, Samson had headed into this series on the back of impressive figures, having scored three centuries for India in the last five T20Is.
“When you are looking at a T20I talent, batting talent, you have got to see when they are playing well what kind of impact they can make, what contribution they can make. And you see with Sanju Samson when he plays well, he gets an incredible hundred and puts your team in a winning position," Manjrekar said while speaking on ESPNCricinfo.
"So, such people are allowed failures and maybe a long patch of failures as well because that's the nature of these as a T20 cricketer, where you can't play yourself, where you have to keep taking those risks that they take. Hopefully, there's that one innings that just propels him back into form," Manjrekar added.
Samson has come under brutal criticism following his repeated failures. However, Manjrekar has backed the star highlighting the impact players like him can create when in form.
