Sanju Samson reveals Gautam Gambhir’s ‘21 ducks’ warning; Leaks private conversation ...Middle East

The Indian T20I side has seen a major change under new coach Gautam Gambhir, who stepped in after Rahul Dravid stepped down from the role. However, the marked modifications were due to the retirements of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the format.

After the World Cup triumph, when India did not have their legendary opener Rohit Sharma, someone needed to step up. Gambhir considered Sanju Samson over the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill for the shortest format.

"That's where Surya told me, ' Chetta, there is a huge opportunity coming up for you. We have seven games lined up, and I am going to give you all seven games as an opener'. Hearing that from the captain's mouth itself, that felt great," Samson said in an interview with R Ashwin.

"Will remove you after 21 ducks," Sanju Samons recalls Gambhir's support before the batter hit form

"Then I played two matches in Sri Lanka after that, I was out for ducks in both matches. The memories of being in and out of the team started flooding in, and I thought that was it."

He then continued to open and hit back-to-back hundreds for India against Bangladesh and against South Africa, which sealed his spot as a T20I opener.

"Being on and off the team was happening for a long time then. Honestly, it was not easy, Anna. It was not easy to have those kinds of feelings; I had already played 8-9 years of international cricket, and I had just played 15 games," Samson admitted his feelings.
