"Wasting Good Form And Opportunity": WI Great Serves Wake-Up Call To Sanju Samson On India Comeback

The 27-ball 55 that the 27-year-old hit in RR's season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad remains his only half-century in eight matches. In fact, in the last six matches, the wicketkeeper-batter has fallen for below 30 on four occasions. With the IPL being one of the last opportunities to impress the BCCI selectors for a ticket to the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, Samson's inability to score big might be an issue.
