0, 0, 0, 0, 0…Tiger at home and away…Sanju Samson’s last 10 match account will be shocked, will Team India wake up?

• Sanju Samson got caught while playing outside India

• What the statistics say

• Sanju Samson still has a chance in the Indian team

The second T20 International of the series between India and England will be played on Saturday, July 4 at Old Trafford in Manchester. The first match was canceled due to rain. Team India’s star batsman, Sanju Samsonhas been struggling for the last few matches. In the first T20I, he faced seven balls and returned to the pavilion for just one run. Earlier, Sanju’s bat remained quiet in the two-match series against Ireland as well.

Given his current form, fans are demanding that Sanju Samson be dropped from the playing XI. While 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi awaits his chance on the bench, head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer have kept their faith in Samson. The main reason behind this is that Sanju Samson played a key role in India’s T20 World Cup victory this year. Based on his performances, it would not be wrong to say that Sanju Samson is currently part of the playing XI, but the question is, for how long?

Surrender of Samson outside the country

Not that Sanju Samson’s recent performances are raising questions about him. But there is a statistic that is hard to believe. Sanju Samson has returned without conceding a run in five of his last 10 T20 Internationals played abroad. However, during this period he scored two centuries in a row. Sanju’s scores in his last 10 away matches are: 0, 0, 107, 0, 0, 109, 2, 5, 0, 1.

Will Vaibhav Suryavanshi get a chance?

15-year-old player to hit sixes off top bowlers in IPL 2026 Vaibhav Suryavanshi Still awaiting its international debut. He did not get a chance to play in the series against Ireland and was benched for the first T20I against England. The big question is, will the Indian team management take the tough decision to drop Sanju Samson, who is going through a poor run of form? Gambhir and Iyer will have to decide whether to give Vaibhav a chance or not. However, this is unlikely. The team management may give star batsman Sanju Samson another chance.
