Curious Case of Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson’s case has been one of the enigmatic ones in Indian cricket where despite being a prodigal talent he hasn’t been able to cement his place in the Indian team and has been in and out of the team over the years.

Sanju last played for India in the 3rd T20I against Afghanistan where he disappointed his fans with a golden duck. Although in December last year only he smashed his first ODI ton against South Africa at their home ground in the series decider, taking India out of a precarious position and helping them to win the series by 2-1.
