Sanju Samson Talks About His Journey and Role in Indian Cricket Team
Indian cricketer Sanju Samson shared his thoughts on the limited opportunities he has had in the national team, emphasizing his belief in a higher purpose. Despite being part of India’s ICC T20 World Cup winning team, he did not play any matches.
Since his debut in 2014, Samson has played 16 ODIs, scoring 510 runs at an average of 56.66, with a century and three fifties. In T20Is, he has played 30 matches, scoring 444 runs at an average of 19.30, with two half-centuries.
Speaking at a press event for the Kerala Cricket League, Samson said, “I will just go and play whenever they select it. That’s it! End of the day, our team is doing well. I am the kind of person who believes in higher purpose. I just try to take things positively under controllable circumstances and put up the efforts.”
Samson is the tournament icon for the Kerala Cricket League 2024, which will feature six teams: Kochi Blue Tigers, Trivandrum Royals, Thrissur Titans, Kollam Sailors, Calicut Globstars, and Alleppey Ripples. The tournament will take place from September 2 to 18 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. The player auction saw MS Akhil as the costliest buy at INR 7.4 lakh, picked by the Trivandrum Royals.
