No one can save Sanju Samson now! Gambhir's hero 'Zero' turns out in Sri Lanka

For Team India wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson, the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka was very important for him. He could have left a good impression in front of new head coach Gautam Gambhir by performing in this series, but he squandered the opportunity. Sanju showed a game that no one had thought of.

Sanju Samson's poor performance in Sri Lanka

Sanju Samson did not get a chance to play in the first match of this series. After this he was included in the playing 11 in place of Shubman Gill in the second match. But he got out on the first ball. After this, a big decision was taken in the third match. Even after Gill's return, he was retained in the team. Constantly in and out of the team in such a situation, Sanju Samson had a big chance to prove himself. But Sanju got out without opening his account in this match as well. That means he is going to return to India without opening an account on Sri Lanka tour.

Got out three times without opening an account

Sanju Samson is playing as a wicketkeeper in this match. This is the 11th time that he has been included in the playing XI for Team India as a wicketkeeper in T20Is. Meanwhile, he has been dismissed three times without opening the account. As an Indian wicketkeeper, he is the second highest number of dismissals for 0 runs in T20s. In this list, Rishabh Pant has been dismissed 4 times at 0. But he was dismissed 4 times in 54 matches.

3 times out for 0 in last 6 innings

Sanju Samson has scored only 1 half-century in the last 6 innings. This half century came on the tour of Zimbabwe. Apart from this, he has also failed to open the account three times. If we look at his stats in T20, he has so far scored 444 runs for Team India in 30 T20 matches at a poor average of 19.30. Including only 2 half-centuries.

The big question is whether he will get a chance in the next series or not

Let us tell you that in the year 2020, Gautam Gambhir tweeted in support of Sanju. In that tweet he said that Sanju Samson is not only India's best wicketkeeper batsman but also India's best young batsman. That is, at that time he raised his voice to get Sanju a place in the team. But now Sanju Samson has performed badly against him. Whether he will get a chance in the team in the upcoming series is a big question. Right now, India has many batsmen who can replace Sanju. In such a situation, difficulties are sure to increase for Sanju.
