Sanjay Manjrekar Hits Bullsye As Sanju Samson Flops: "Getting A Little..."

Former cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar decoded Sanju Samson's pattern of dismissal in the recently concluded T20I series against England. The short-length delivery is one of the oldest tricks in cricket that has survived the wrath of time while holding on to its lethal nature. Among its many users, the West Indies speed demons from the era of 1980 to 2000 were the most proficient. For Samson, it wasn't the length that troubled him but the speed at which the ball came to him and the technique he implemented to overcome it.

Sanju Samson "Trying To Show His Ego": India's World Cup Winner Gives Brutal 'Missed The Bus' Verdict On Star

With 51 runs in five innings against England in the five-match T20 series, Indian opener Sanju Samson is facing the heat over his lack of form, with former teammate Ravichandran Ashwin and ex-captain Kris Srikkanth criticising the wicketkeeper batter for the similar manner of his dismissals. India's 4-1 win over England in the recent five-match T20I series has proven that the team is doing well, but it could not hide some of the issues plaguing it -- like the poor form of opening batter Samson.

Ravichandran Ashwin may be retired from international cricket, but he remains an astute reader and watcher of the game, and provides his analysis on a number of things. In his latest video, Ashwin has implied that despite India's thumping 4-1 T20I series victory over England, all may not be rosy. Ashwin pointed out a flaw in the batting of captain Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson, stating that they're repeatedly getting out playing similar shots and on similar deliveries. To drive home his point, Ashwin even made a hilarious Rajinikanth movie reference.

Star wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has fractured his index finger after being hit by a Jofra Archer scorcher during the fifth T20 International against England in Mumbai and will be out of action for more than a month, side-lining him from the upcoming Ranji Trophy quarterfinals.

"Such People Are Allowed Failures": Ex-India Star Backs Sanju Samson

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar backed wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson to be allowed "long patch of failures" because of the impact he can make when he is in form. Samson's inconsistent run in T20Is continues as after three centuries in five innings across five innings against Bangladesh and South Africa, he has been troubled by the high-quality pace of Jofra Archer, who has dismissed him thrice in this ongoing series. He has scored just 35 runs in four innings at an average of 8.75, with best score of 26.

Is Short Ball Sanju Samson's Nemesis? Kevin Pietersen Says "On Occasions You Get Stuck..."

Sanju Samson is having a poor form in T20I cricket. The right-handed batter has scored only 34 runs across three innings at an average of 11.33 and a strike rate of 103.03 in India's ongoing five-match series against England. Samson started with a positive knock of 26 but scored only 5 and 3 in his next two innings, respectively. More than the runs, the matter of concern is that he was dismissed in almost similar deliveries to the same bowler -- short balls from Jofra Archer. Samson tried to pull the England pacer on all three occasions and a failed attempt saw him losing his wicket.
