IND vs WI: You Cannot Stop Watching Sanju Samson Because He Bats So Beautifully - Danish Kaneria
Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria reserved praise for Indian wicket-keeper batter, Sanju Samson, who played a sedate but crucial knock in the fourth T20I against West Indies on Saturday.
After Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav got India off to a blazing start, things slowed down after the duo was dismissed in a matter of deliveries. Rishabh Pant ( 44 off 31) and Samson carried on and helped the visitors put 191 on the board.
“Sanju Samson came into the Indian team instead of Shreyas Iyer for the fourth T20I. He is such a stylish player. You cannot stop watching him because he bats so beautifully.”
“Even Rahul Dravid is highly impressed by Samson’s stylish batting. He has class and confidence. His 23-ball 30* was crucial for Team India in the match,” Kaneria told on his YouTube channel.
“Rohit and Suryakumar handled things really well” – Danish Kaneria
Kaneria asserted that the wicket wasn’t easy to bat on due to the overnight rain but the opening pair of Rohit and Suryakumar dealt with the conditions brilliantly.
“Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav got India off to a very good start. Rohit played some very good strokes until he got out to Akeal Hosein, looking to play an inside out stroke.”
“The wicket is on the slightly slower side in Lauderhill. Also, the ball doesn’t come at the same pace every time. But Rohit and Suryakumar handled things really well. They showed intent at the top. It wasn’t easy as, because of the rain, there was some dampness on the wicket. But as the day progressed, the wicket got better,” he added.
India took an unassailable 3-1 lead after winning the 4th T20I by 59 runs.
