Sanju Samson Can Even Bat On Moon - Gautam Gambhir

It was a brilliant show from Sanju Samson on the other day against South Africa in the rain-curtailed ODI game. The flamboyant batsman received high praises from all the fans and cricket experts for his blistering striking of the ball. Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir, who is batting for Samson for a long time, once again showers high praise for the Keralite.

Sanju Samson has thrown his name back in the ring with a belligerent 48-ball 91 as India A romped to a 36-run win over South Africa A in the fifth and final unofficial ODI.

Sanju Samson registered his highest List-A score of 91 as India A posted a strong total of 204/4 against South Africa A in a rain-curtailed match that was reduced to 20-over a side after a lengthy delay owing to a wet outfield at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.

He raced to his fifty off just 27 balls and looked set for his maiden triple-figure score in List A, but was caught brilliantly by Janneman Malan off the bowling of Geroge Linde in the 16th over. Samson showed his class right from the ball one after Shreyas Iyer opted to bat first.

Well done, Sanju Samson – Gautam Gambhir

This prompted Harbhajan Singh to endorse the wicket-keeper batsman as one of the candidates to get the job done for India at the number 4 position. Taking to Twitter, Harbhajan wrote: “Why not @IamSanjuSamson at number 4 in odi.. with good technique and good head on his shoulders.. well played today anyways against SA.”

In reply, Gambhir wrote “Yes @harbhajan_singh on current form and his skills this Southern Star, @IamSanjuSamson can bat even on Moon’s South Pole!!! I wonder if they had space on Vikram to carry this marvel of a batsman. Well done Sanju on scoring 91 off 48 balls against South Africa A side.”

He has been in the news for a long time to head into the Indian side. Probably, the 91-run knock would help him to catch the eyeballs of the selectors. This is not the first time Gambhir backed Sanju Samson, he always kept Sanju in the scheme of things but selectors never considered.
