Coach Gautam Gambhir has made a big prediction about him. Before becoming the coach, he had said that if Sanju does not play for India, it will be a loss for the country.

Commentator Aakash Chopra also expressed concern over Sanju's disappointing performance in the first match. He said that Sanju was not hitting the ball hard. It seemed that he did not want to hurt the ball. And he was hitting fours one after the other.
