Sanju Samson Creates Unfortunate Record in T20Is, Becoming First Indian Batter in History

Embarrassing Milestone for Indian Wicketkeeper-Batter

In a disappointing turn of events, Sanju Samson has become the first Indian batter to register an unwanted record in Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket. During the recent T20I series against Sri Lanka, Samson failed to score a single run in two consecutive innings, an embarrassing feat for any batter at the international level.

Unprecedented Failure for Indian Batsman

Samson's failure to score in back-to-back T20I innings marks a new low for Indian batters in the format. No other Indian batsman has ever endured such a prolonged lean patch in T20Is, highlighting the extent of Samson's struggles.

Samson's poor form has raised concerns about his place in the Indian T20I team, as he has consistently failed to live up to expectations. Despite being a talented player, Samson has been unable to translate his domestic success into consistent performances at the international level.

Samson's T20I Struggles Continue

Samson's recent failures are part of a larger pattern of struggle in T20Is. In 17 T20I innings since the start of 2022, Samson has managed to score only 230 runs at an average of 13.53 and a strike rate of 112.68. These numbers fall well below the standards expected of an international cricketer, raising questions about Samson's suitability for the T20I format.

Samson's poor form has also affected India's T20I results. In the recent series against Sri Lanka, India lost both matches in which Samson failed to score, highlighting the impact his failures have on the team's overall performance.

Samson's Future in T20Is Uncertain

Given his recent struggles, Samson's future in the Indian T20I team is uncertain. With several other talented batters waiting in the wings, Samson will need to rediscover his form quickly if he wants to retain his place in the team.

Samson's failure to score in back-to-back T20I innings is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by even the most talented batters at the international level. It remains to be seen whether Samson can overcome his current slump and return to the form that earned him a place in the Indian team.
