Sanju Samson, who made India the champion in the T20 World Cup 2026, is once again under the scanner. This right-handed wicketkeeper-batsman is amazing but since the T20 World Cup, he has scored only 2 fifty plus innings in 11 matches. Meaning Sanju Samson has failed in 9 innings. Sanju Samson’s form is not good and there is a batsman sitting on the bench whose batting is amazing. We are talking about Vaibhav Suryavanshi who is not able to come in the playing eleven due to Sanju and Abhishek Sharma opening. Meanwhile, former cricketer Hanuma Vihari has given an interesting statement. He says that perhaps Sanju Samson is under pressure due to the presence of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Let us tell you why Hanuma said this?
Is there pressure on Sanju from Vaibhav Suryavanshi?
Hanuma Vihari said on his YouTube channel, ‘The biggest question sanju samson Regarding the form. How many more failures can he endure? I am a big fan of Sanju Samson. I want Samson to play, he was the player of the tournament in the T20 World Cup. He did not score runs in the Asian Games, but scored against Afghanistan. He flopped in the first match of this series. Before the World Cup, when Ishan Kishan returned to the Indian team, Samson started feeling insecure. He had said in an interview that when there is competition, he is not able to perform well. That’s why during the New Zealand series, when Ishan came back, Sanju did not perform well and now Vaibhav Suryavanshi is behind Samson. There will definitely be pressure on him, especially because there is a tough competition for a place in the Indian team.
Srikanth also surrounded Samson
Former cricketer on Sanju Samson. Srikanth also took aim. He said that the case of Sanju Samson is serious. His place is under question. Srikanth said, ‘Sanju Samson’s case is once again becoming a serious issue for the Indian team. We are winning on flat pitches, no one will question this, but when we start losing again in New Zealand, his place will once again come under question. We know he played three brilliant innings in the T20 World Cup, but what after that? They are failing again and again. His form has been very poor since the T20 World Cup. They should know that a player like Vaibhav Suryavanshi is waiting to emerge. He has to remember one thing, ‘You cannot play forever on the basis of a few innings’. Now it remains to be seen that for how long will Team India back Sanju Samson and for how long will a player like Suryavanshi remain sitting on the bench?
