Sanju Sanju Samson as Opener in Asia Cup Samson, who hopes Sanjeevani, the vice -captain is standing in front in batting

New DelhiThere is a basic rule of the playground that the performance of the player writes his story, there is no need to say anything from the mouth. Sanju Samson is doing something similar on the field these days and his bat is speaking fiercely. Sanju is constantly missing any opportunity to remind India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir that he is entitled to opening for India in the Asia Cup 2025.

Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has almost lost the role of his top order at the hands of Vice-captain Shubman Gill, who is returning to T20 international cricket after a year. In the Kerala Cricket League (KCL), Samson has repeatedly proved the bat of Kochi Blue Tigers with the bat that he is not eligible to be demoted in the Asia Cup and should play only as an opener.

Sanju needs Sanjeevani from the coach!

Samson’s brilliant form in KCL is not worth ignoring India. Samson has scored half -centuries on all four occasions, opening for Kochi in KCL 2025. Overall, he has scored 355 runs in the top order in 4 innings and his average is 88.75. It also includes a century made off 42 balls, after which he scored 121 runs in that match. Significantly, his only failure in the current KKR League came when he came to bat at number six and could only score 13 runs off 22 balls.

Vice -captain in front of life in batting

Sanju has achieved the most success in T20I for India by opening. He has become the only Indian to score three centuries in the smallest format of the game in a calendar year, he has scored all the centuries as an opener. He has scored 512 runs in 14 T20I matches played so far at a strike rate of 182.20 and an average of 39.38. Meanwhile, Gill has played only as an opener in 21 T20 matches played so far. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar also indicated that this Punjab batsman will open in the Asia Cup 2025 as well. He also claimed that Samson is playing in the top order only because Gill and Jaiswal are not in the team.
