Star India National cricket team wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson showed disappointment and disappointment after the dismissal of Sri Lanka National Cricket Team.
Sanju Samson was disappointed with his performance in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 match against Sri Lanka at Dubai International Stadium.
Sanju Samson looks in great rhythm
Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman has not seen his best performance in the Indian T20I team since Vice-Captaine, Shubman Gill lost his opening place.
Sanju Samson’s best came to the top as a T20i batsman as he scored for several centuries, but was demoted in the batting order on Shubman Gill’s return in the T20I setup.
Samson is given the role of a middle-order batsman, and suddenly, his look and rhythm took a dip. He did not look comfortable after going under the order, and he was at number 8 in the previous match against Bangladesh.
However, Sanju Samson finally appeared in a good rhythm while batting at number 5 against Sri Lanka. During his stay in the middle, Samson played some impressive strokes and saw the set for half a century.
However, he was reduced by milestone by 11 runs. On the third ball of the 16th over, Dasun Shanaka gave a complete delivery to Samson, which went down from the track to hit it, but was not able to have a good relationship.
The ball went to the additional cover, where captain Charith Asanka retreated and caught a stunning catch in the reverse cup on his head.
After getting out of 39 runs off 23 balls with a four and three sixes, Samson looked quite vivid with himself and was seen shouting angrily
Watch: Samson shame after getting out of angry and embarrassed vs Sri Lanka

He is not getting much batting time – Varun Aaron on Samson
In a conversation on Espncricinfo before the match, former India’s Pesar Varun Aaron said that Samson should be permanently slot in mid -order and his batting position should not be changed continuously.
“He is not giving too much batting time, and when he batting, he is clearly batting outside his position. So Samson is one of the batsmen he wants to give him some game time, but then, there is no point in batting in such a game in number three. The batting lineup remains the same as they will probably be in the funeral against Pakistan.
Aaron predicted the outcome of the match, saying, “Absolutely, it should be a straight. It is going through India, the way they are doing the entire tournament, they are sailing.”
