Sanju Samson has revealed how a disappointing series against New Zealand and Ishan Kishan's rise convinced him his hopes of making India's T20 World Cup squad were over.
Sanju Samson was left out of India's T20I squad for the Zimbabwe tour, triggering strong reactions from fans on social media. Here's why the wicketkeeper-batter missed out and the full squad announced by the BCCI.
Sanju Samson's inconsistency has finally caught up with him, with the BCCI senior selection committee dropping the World Cup-winning wicketkeeper-batter from India's T20I squad for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe and handing Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh his maiden international call-up.
“They're calling me Chetta, but I like Sanju more. You try to see what works well, stick to the basics, and trust your hands to do the rest. I just stuck to the process, and it's working out well.
Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 87 for CSK earns praise from Irfan Pathan, Aaron Finch, and others, who hail his form, consistency, and match-winning ability in IPL 2026.
The league confirmed that Jadeja and Sam Curran had been traded to the Rajasthan Royals, with Samson moving to CSK.
Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson credited India head coach Gautam Gambhir for backing him to succeed in T20Is, and revealed him saying that he would only be dropped from the team if he registered 21 ducks.
Sanju Samson’s long-standing association with the Rajasthan Royals could be nearing its end. After a mixed 2025 IPL season, reports have emerged that the Kerala batter has formally expressed his desire to leave the franchise, stirring up the transfer market ahead of the mega auction.
Although named the brand ambassador for the inaugural edition of the KCL, Samson had opted out last year to focus on his international commitments.
The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) has suspended former India speedster S Sreesanth for three years from all cricketing activities in the state for allegedly making false and derogatory statements against it over Sanju Samson’s omission from the Indian squad of the Champions Trophy.
