It was his fourth successive failure in the ongoing five-match series. Before the start of the series, it looked like Sanju Samson had nailed his spot as the opener in India's T20I team. He had scored as many as three centuries in his last 5 T20Is before the series against England.
Even after doing well on the bouncy wickets of South Africa, the Kerala star has struggled against England's pacers in the ongoing series. He was dismissed by his former Rajasthan Royals teammate Jofra Archer in the first three T20Is. The England pacer dismissed the India opener inside the powerplay in all three games.
Gautam Gambhir furious at Sanju Samson:
Sanju Samson began the series on a promising note, scoring a quickfire 26 in the first T20I. However, he registered single-digit scores in the second and third T20Is, scoring 5 and 3 respectively. He had the chance to make amends in the ongoing game.
Saqib Mahmood, playing his first game of the series, dismissed Samson on the very first ball of the second over. Not only the dismissal but the method of dismissal would also be a cause of concern for Samson and the team management. For the fourth game in a row, the wicketkeeper-batsman lost his wicket while playing a pull shot against a short ball.
