Delighted Gautam Gambhir Asks Sanju Samson To Grab His Chance

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has expressed his delight over Sanju Samson finally getting a call from Team India. The right-handed batsman has been included in the India squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh. This is not the first time the Kerala star has earned a call-up from the national team.

Sanju Samson had earned his maiden India call-up way back in 2014 for the tour of England but had not played any game during that series. He eventually made his debut on Zimbabwe tour in the following year.

However, he was dropped from the team after the Zimbabwe tour and has now finally made it to the national team. The call comes on the back of some stunning performance from the wicketkeeper-batsman  in domestic circuit, Indian Premier League and for India A. Last month, he blasted 91 from just 48 balls to propel India A to a win over South Africa A.
