💔Sanju Samson - the Unluckiest Indian Cricketer?

Sanju Samson is one of the most talented batters going around. He has a prolific Domestic record and has close to 4,000 runs in the Indian Premier League. However, his international career never took off.

T20 Internationals: Sanju Samson made his T20I debut for India in 2015 against Zimbabwe. He had a forgettable first outing, scoring just 19 runs off 24 balls and was subsequently dropped from the team. Despite scoring consistently in the IPL, Samson had to wait more than 4 years for his next T20I match for India. He has featured in only 24 T20I matches so far and has managed to amass just 374 runs at an average of just less than 20.

One Day Internationals: In spite of scoring consistently in domestic cricket, Sanju Samson had to wait till 2021 for his ODI debut. He debuted against Sri Lanka, scoring 46 runs at a strike rate of 100.0. He was dropped again and played his next ODI game after a whole year.

With Samson's exclusion from the T20I side for the upcoming series against Australia, it seems that the management is already looking beyond him for younger options. This spells bad news for Sanju Samson who is already 29, and his fans.
