Sanju Samson: Yesterday, India and Sri Lanka were face to face in the second match of the three T20 match series at Pallekele ground. Team India won this rain affected match by 7 wickets. Batting first, Sri Lanka scored 161 runs in 20 overs. As per Duckworth Lewis rule, Indian team had to score 78 runs in 8 overs.

The visiting team achieved this target in just 6.3 overs. The Indian team may have been successful in registering a win, but the poor form of some players must have definitely increased the concerns of the team management. Sanju Samson's name comes first in this. Very soon he is going to be permanently discharged from the international team. Another batsman is going to replace him.

Sanju Samson's flop show continues

India and Sri Lanka played against each other yesterday as part of the three-match T20 series. Shubman Gill had to sit out of this match due to a neck strain. The team management fielded Sanju Samson in his place.

However, this 29-year-old player once again failed to prove his usefulness. Right-handed batsman Sanju, who came to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal, fell prey to Mahish Teekshna on the very first ball. He returned to the pavilion without opening his account on the very first ball of the second over of the innings.

This has been the performance in the last 5 innings

If we look at Sanju Samson's cricket career, he is constantly in and out of the team. There is only one reason behind this, inconsistency in his performance. If we look at Sanju's last five innings, the right-handed batsman has scored 1, 12, 58 and 0 in his account.

This brilliant player will replace him in the team

To stay in Team India, it is necessary to give consistent performance. In such a situation, if the team's head coach Gautam Gambhir shows him the way out from the next tour, then it should not be surprising. Ruturaj Gaikwad can be given a place in the squad in his place.
