Samson’s poor form in the first half of IPL 2021 as well as his indifferent showings for India in Australia led to him being left out of the squad for the T20 World Cup.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels he needs to improve on his shot selection or he will be wasting “such God-given talent”.
Gavaskar said that shot selection boils down to temperament and that is what separates “the men from the boys”.
Sanju Samson’s poor form since IPL 2021 opener
Samson began his IPL 2021 season with a stunning century in a defeat against the Punjab Kings, but in the seven matches he has played after that, he averages just 27.
With the likes of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler unavailable for the rest of the season, there is growing pressure on the 26-year-old to step up for the Royals.
Rajasthan are currently fifth in the table, behind the Mumbai Indians only on Net Run Rate. They will next face Delhi Capitals in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
