Fans Compare Sanju Samson With India’s WK Options Post SA Antics

Sanju Samson has continued to remain the talk of the town with the right-handed batter impressing once again during the first ODI against South Africa. The wicketkeeper has been earning a lot of applause for his innings which saw him score 86 runs against the Proteas.

Keeping the Men in Blue in the game till the very last over, Samson managed to score 15 off 3 balls while India needed 30 runs to win the clash. However, he failed to hit the fourth delivery which resulted in South Africa registering a narrow 9-run victory.

Displaying his ability, Samson proved himself once again and registered his highest ever ODI score in Lucknow. The Kerala based cricketer currently finds himself away from the first team with wicket keeping duo of Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik touted to be Rohit Sharma’s first choices.

Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan have been seen as the secondary options of wicket keeping batsmen and were selected to feature for India’s One-Day International matches against Proteas while the former traveled to Australia for the ICC T20 World Cup. Fans have gone on to compare the duo after their recent exploits in the first ODI against the Proteas in Lucknow. While Samson has a lot of positives to look at, Kishan was seen getting a lot of criticism for his slow innings.

Indian cricket ignored him for Ishan Kishan. Not Sanju’s loss, loss of Indian cricket.

Sanju Samson is a player which @bcci has ruined. That guy has lost all his hopes. You wanted him to score. He scored. Still you so called star batters Ishan Kishan, Shubhman gill did zero wonders. #Shameonbcci #T20WorldCup2022

Sanju Samson’s 86* (63) best innings in International Cricket comes in a losing cause because of Top order failure. What a steady knock when wickets kept failing at other end.

We lost the match there when Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan played 80 balls scoring only 39 runs from it. They doesn’t even know how to rotate strike.

Well played Shardul Thakur and Sanju samson. #IndvsSAodi

Top class batting by Sanju Samson which was very well supported by Shardul Thakur & Shreyas Iyer.
Lost the game thanks to the test innings played by Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad

What a knock by Sanju Samson – 86* in just 63 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes. Almost took India over the line, an innings worth a million appreciation!

Take a bow, Sanju#IndvsSAodi #SanjuSamson pic.twitter.com/i2Kk8fpJuE

@BCCI
@SGanguly99
why is Sanju Samson not in the WC playing squad? @DineshKarthik
is good but @IamSanjuSamson
is the future and we should look towards alternative for @RishabhPant17
as well.

till now the pecking order was clear for Rishabh Pant fan club
– Tests – Pant
– ODI – Kishan, DK
– T20 – Pant, DK, Kishan
but with Sanju Samson jumping in yesterday with #INDvSA & Samson being a better batsman & keeper in white ball.. Pumpkin Pant fans r going mad.. pic.twitter.com/ySwDhqcvrG

Once DK retires there will be an empty second keeper space in the Indian team which would see claims from Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson. But before that they will be needed to prove their worth as Pant is already ahead of them.#SanjuSamson
