Aakash Chopra Criticizes Sanju Samson's Repeated Similar Dismissals In T20I Series
The Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has been getting dismissed in the same manner in all four innings in the ongoing five-match T20I series between India and England. In all four T20Is played, Samson managed to score only 26, 5, 3, and 1 runs. He went on to score a single run in three balls in the fourth T20I against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
Although India won the fourth T20I by getting the visitors out for 166 runs, winning the match by 15 runs, and taking a lead of 3-1 in the series. They have already made the series to their name by winning the match in Pune. But Samson's form is a cause of concern for the team.
In a video shared by Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel, he stated that Sanju once again got out in the same style. He also talked about his fans, that he doesn't want to trigger them, but now Sanju has been dismissed similarly four times in the series.
"India lost the toss and got to bat first. Sanju Samson once again got out in the same fashion. I don't want to trigger Sanju's fan army at all but the fact is that he has now been dismissed similarly four times."
Further, he said that this time Samson got into the plan of Mahmood's plan, and before that, he was dismissed by Jofra Archer in the last three T20Is.
"He got out to Saqib Mahmood's bowling this time. So continuously in the same fashion against the short ball, finding a fielder in the deep and once caught at mid-on, thrice against Jofra Archer and once against Saqib.
