India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has been in fine form off late, registering scores of 86 and 30 in the first to ODIs of the ongoing three-match series against South Africa.

In the first ODI, Samson played a knock against all odds and his fighting spirit kept the hosts in the game. Needing 30 runs in the final over, Sanju gave it his all, and in the end, Team India fell just 9 runs short.

The right-handed batter who is used to batting in the top-order, has now started to come lower down the order when donning India colours and the new role is suiting the batter.

On Tuesday, ahead of the third ODI against South Africa at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Sanju revealed that he was instructed last year to be ready to don the Indian colours down the order. "Absolutely, I have been practicing different kind of roles and I think last couple of years, I have put in time to understand different types of roles that I need to play in different teams.
