The Indian wicketkeeper-batter smashed 57 runs from just 22 balls, hitting seven boundaries and four sixes, and played a key role in the team’s easy win over Afghanistan in the second T20I.
After the Men in Blue took a 2-0 lead in the Afghanistan series, former India opener Aakash Chopra has pointed out how much pressure Sanju Samson was carrying before the second T20I in Delhi.
Aakash Chopra said in a video posted on his YouTube channel, "If you had seen the match and listened to the mid-match conversation, everything was pointing in one direction—that there was pressure on Sanju. Sometimes you feel that it's slightly wrong. Why should the pressure be there if you played three consecutive good knocks in the World Cup quarterfinal, semi-final, and final?”
"The sword was hanging over his head": Aakash Chopra on Sanju Samson being under pressure
He added, “The pressure was there because two innings had gone bad in Ireland, and one-and-a-half innings had gone bad in England. One was in the washed-out match. So, it shouldn't be counted, but he was dropped after that. He wasn't sent to Zimbabwe. Vaibhav Soouryavanshi kept scoring runs in his absence, and the sword was hanging over his (Samson's) head.”
So, Chopra hailed the team management for giving Samson the opportunity ahead of Sooryavanshi in the first two T20Is against Afghanistan. Amid this, Sanju Samson breaks silence on competition with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
Aakash Chopra warns against frequent changes as India’s T20 batters keep attacking
Suryavanshi is one of the brightest young batters in Indian cricket, but Chopra highlighted that India already has several batters who can change a T20 match within a few overs.
Chopra stressed that frequent changes after every failure can make it difficult for a batter to play freely. He added, “India's modern-day T20 batters are unbelievable. They don't stop. Everyone's template is the same. Everyone keeps hitting.”
