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.

Much more than his performances, Brook has come under the scanner for blaming "smog" for his failure in the series-opener in Kolkata. Despite clear air during the games in Chennai and Rajkot, Brook has not able to create much of an impact. India mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy bamboozled him in Kolkata and Chennai, before Ravi Bishnoi, another wrist spinner, outfoxed him at Rajkot on Tuesday.
