Sanju Samson's remarkable return to form in the Indian T20I team has been a highlight of recent international cricket. Samson, who has faced inconsistency in his career, has found his groove again, with the support of captain Suryakumar Yadav proving crucial to his resurgence.
Samson's recent success started with a strong performance in the Bangladesh T20I series, where he scored a century in Hyderabad. However, his most impressive display came against South Africa, where he smashed a stunning 107 runs off just 50 balls, leading India to a dominant 61-run victory. His performance was all the more remarkable considering his past struggles to cement his place in the national team.
Samson revealed the key to his success was the clear role clarity and confidence instilled in him by Suryakumar Yadav. He recounted how during the Duleep Trophy, Yadav assured him of his position in the Indian team, giving him a specific timeframe to prove himself. 'Chetta, agla 7 match tera hai', (you are going to play next 7 matches), Surya told him, promising his full support. This clear vision and unwavering belief from his captain gave Samson the confidence he needed to break free from his past struggles.
Samson's success is a testament to the impact of a supportive and trusting captain. He credits the team management as well for providing him with a clear schedule, allowing him to focus on his performance without the pressure of uncertainty. This strategy has clearly worked, as Samson's recent performances have proven his ability to deliver consistently.
As Samson continues to build on his resurgence, he has set his sights on continuing his impressive run and contributing significantly to the team's success. With the support of his captain and team management, he is in a prime position to establish himself as a key player in the Indian T20I setup. The upcoming T20I series against South Africa provides a perfect platform for him to further showcase his skills and solidify his position in the team.
