Sanju Samson will be more consistent if he improves his shot selection – Sunil Gavaskar

Indian legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar believes Sanju Samson will be more consistent for Team India and Rajasthan Royals if he improves his shot selection. It has been noticed that Samson tries to hit the ground running from the get-go and he tries to take the attack on the opposition bowlers as soon as he comes to the crease.

Thus, Samson is sometimes dismissed cheaply in an attempt to score at a brisk pace. However, there is no denying the fact that Samson is a treat to the eyes when he gets going and he has all the shots in his repertoire.

Samson was in fine form while leading Rajasthan Royals in the recently concluded Tata IPL 2022 as he scored 458 runs in 17 matches at an average of 28.63 and an impressive strike rate of 146.79. Thus, he played an instrumental role in taking his team to the final of the tournament.

“Everybody deserves more chance but you got to make the most of them. What has led Sanju Samson down, because all of us know the tremendous ability that he has, is his shot selection while playing for India. He looks to attack from the first ball and even in T20Is, there is an opportunity to get your feet going, get your eye … you know with the light and pitch, etc,” Sunil Gavaskar said while talking to Star Sports.

“So, yes if his shot selection gets better then he will be so much more consistent whether it is for India or for his franchise. Then there will be nobody asking questions about his place in the team,” he added.

Samson was not picked in the five-match T20I series against South Africa however he has received his chance in the upcoming two matches against Ireland. The Kerala batter has a lot of talent under his belt and he will look to grab his chances with both hands.

The flamboyant batter has all the shots in the book and if he can improve his shot selection, he is expected to be more consistent for the Men in Blue. Samson has the skills to score his runs at a brisk pace and he can definitely turn the match on its head for the Indian team in the T20 World Cup.

India will play two T20Is against Ireland in Dublin with the first one to take place on 26th June.
