Former Pakistan player, Danish Kaneria questioned Sanju Samson’s performance in the five-match T20I series against West Indies. Danish who calls himself a fan of the Keralite asked him when he is going to score some runs for India.
While speaking on his official YouTube channel, Kaneria said that the India team management rested regular starters like Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli to give other players a chance since they haven’t got enough opportunities to play for the Men in Blues.
Kaneria further attacked Sanju Samson and said that now he has got the opportunity but when will he start scoring runs?
“India rested Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli so that they could give others a chance, as many have complained that a few players haven’t had enough opportunities. Now that India has played them, when are you going to score runs, Sanju Samson?,” Kaneria said on Sanju Samson.

Kaneria said that he used to cheer for the 28-year-old and wanted him to play more for the Men in Blues but Sanju Samson failed to grab the opportunity.
“He has had enough chances now. I was among the people who supported him and wanted him to get consistent opportunities. However, he hasn’t made the most of these chances,” the 42-year-old added.
In the third T20I match against West Indies, Sanju Samson did not have to come on the crease in the second inning but the wicketkeeper-batsman has failed to show his worth in the first two games against the Caribbeans.
In the first inning, the Indian bowling attack failed to take early and West Indies gave a target of 160 runs after Kuldeep Yadav scalped three wickets in his four-over spell and gave away 28 runs.
In the second inning, Suryakumar Yadav played a sparkling 83-run knock and powered a seven-wicket win over the Caribbeans. Tilak Varma also showcased a stunning performance in the second inning and made a strong partnership with SKY to help the Men in Blues clinch their first victory of the five-game T20I series.
India will be booming with confidence and will lock horns against West Indies in the fourth T20I match on Saturday (August 12) at 8:00 PM IST.
