The Indian wicketkeeper-batter, who had struggled for runs recently, made full use of the opportunity and smashed 35 runs off just 13 balls against Hosein. He hit four consecutive boundaries in the fifth over and helped India post a massive total of 249/5.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin felt Sanju Samson was not in his best form before the second T20I against the West Indies in Ranchi. But Shai Hope made things easier for the Indian wicketkeeper by using Akeal Hosein against him during the powerplay.
Ravichandran Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel, "Samson looked scratchy because he was not in a run-scoring phase. However, Shai Hope also made a mistake today. You cannot keep using spinners from one end in an attempt to build pressure on Sanju Samson. Bowling three consecutive overs from Akeal Hosein during the powerplay was like serving a hungry lion a goat on a platter. Samson simply took advantage of the opportunity and went after Akeal Hosein.”
Ravichandran Ashwin hails Samson for his fearless approach
However, Samson continued taking risks for the team's benefit. The cricket pandit explained, “It is not easy to maintain that attitude. It is human nature that when you are in danger and know that you might be dropped, self-preservation becomes the top priority.
Samson's rocky journey gets special praise from Ashwin
The former Indian all-rounder believes Samson has the ability to win matches single-handedly when he finds his rhythm, even though his career has seen many ups and downs.
Notably, Samson has already scored 1,660 runs in 74 T20Is at an average of 27.21 and a strike rate of 157.64 with the help of nine half-centuries and three centuries. The 31-year-old will look to continue his form in the third T20I against West Indies in Indore on Sunday, October 11.
