India's tour of West Indies 2023
"Finished" Twitter slams Sanju Samson as he flops once again with the bat in 5th T20I vs WI
Coming out to bat in the 8th over, Sanju Samson managed to score just 13 runs off 9 balls in the 5th T20I vs WI.
In the dynamic world of cricket, every player’s journey is a roller-coaster ride, marked by highs and lows. One such player who has found himself caught in the whirlwind of expectations and performance fluctuations is Sanju Samson. Despite being granted numerous opportunities to prove his mettle in the Indian cricket team, the talented wicket-keeper batsman has been grappling with a prolonged period of inconsistency. His recent performance in the T20I series against the West Indies has once again brought the spotlight onto his inability to convert chances into substantial runs.
Sanju Samson, known for his elegant strokeplay and promising talent, has been granted ample chances by the Indian cricket selectors to establish himself as a vital cog in the team’s batting lineup. However, his performances have left much to be desired. In the ongoing T20I series against the West Indies, Samson’s scores of 12, 7, and 13 have underscored his ongoing struggle to find form. These numbers have not only dampened his personal confidence but have also left cricket enthusiasts and fans bewildered.
His performance in the fifth T20I of the series added to his woes. Facing a charged West Indies attack, Samson’s innings of 13 runs off nine balls ultimately fell short of expectations. His dismissal by Shepherd further added to the concerns surrounding his batting prowess. The dismal average of 18.82 across 21 T20I matches, coupled with a strike rate of 131.14, reflects the inconsistency that has plagued his international career.
Twitter has become a sounding board for fans frustrated with Samson’s inability to capitalize on his opportunities. The digital realm has erupted with criticism and disappointment as fans express their concerns over his subpar performances. The unforgiving nature of social media has led to a significant backlash, subjecting Samson to harsh criticism and intensifying the pressure he is under.
