Sanju Samson made a big revelation

Sanju Samson while talking to the media in Thiruvananthapuram said, 'I feel that I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket and I do not want to limit myself to just white ball cricket. My desire is to play test cricket for India. Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red-ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play as many Ranji Trophy matches as possible.

Sanju Samson further said, 'This time my preparation was good. After the series against Sri Lanka, I trained with Rahul Dravid sir and Zubin Bharucha at the RR Academy and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence because it came against some of the best bowlers in the country.

Was a flop in the last Ranji season

Sanju Samson was a flop in the last season of Ranji Trophy. He could score only 177 runs in 4 matches at an average of 35.40.

He played an inning of 106 runs in 101 balls for India D captained by Shreyas Iyer. Sanju Samson faced only 94 balls to score his century. He scored a century in first class after about 5 years.
