Former Indian captain and chief selector Kris Srikkanth scored Sanja Samson for his repeated failures against a short ball after a bad appearance in a recent T20I series with five matches against England. Significantly, India won the T20I series with a score of 4-1 against England.
Expressing his frustration, Srikkanth said that Samson’s “ego journey” may have played a role in his fall after a stunning start as an Indian opener last year. Former Indian selector selector pointed out that Kerala’s dough is more focused on proving its value than to adapt its game to overcome the challenge of a short number that has set up an English tempo attack in the T20I series.
Kris Srikkanth criticizes the lack of adaptability of Sanja Samson after failure against England
Significant that Sanja Samson’s performance during the recent T20I series was a major deviation, with results 26, 5, 3, 1 and 16 against England. The thirty -year -old sent three times to the pavilion by the English Fire Bowling of Jofra Archer, while Saqib Mahmood and Mark Wood once successfully achieved success.
The English fast bowlers were consistently aimed at Samson’s body with short delivery and achieved success. Despite repeated failures, the right -wing dough did not show signs of adjusting its approach, falling into the same trap again and again in the recent T20I series at home.
But the most disappointing is that Samson did not have a spare plan, because he constantly found terrain in deep without providing a lot of resistance. The lack of adaptability in his game caused serious doubts about his ability to cope with Pacey delivery.

Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel: “It seems that Sanja Samson missed the bus. The fifth time, going out in the same way. He played a similar recording. I think he’s trying to show his ego. He tries to say” No, no, I’ll play this recording “. Does the ego travel or fight?”
He added, “I’m not sure. He’s very sad. I am disappointed. We talked about why he was not selected in the Tophy Champion team. If he continues to play like this, say, thank you, Sorry, Yashasvi Jaiswal returned. In the next T20I match, My opinion, Yashasvi’s entrances. “

Suryakumar Yadav is unable to perform his flicks: srikkanth
Meanwhile, Kris Srikkanth also mentioned that Suryakumar Yadav faces a similar problem, fighting for controlling his natural instincts after the Indian T20I skipper managed only 28 driving in five inserts against England.
The former main selector also said that Suryakumum is one of his favorite players, and hopes the skipper will make some corrections and return strongly with the baton.
Srikkanth signed himself, saying, “Look at Suryakumar Yadav. Show me his numbers from the last 10 stacks, this is what we need to look at in the T20I. Look at this series, tried to play the same shot. He tried to pursue and got the top edges they were wearing.
I don’t think Suryakumar is unable to execute his flicks, which was his strength, because of the additional pace. I don’t know if it’s playing too early. He inserts into his shots, not playing relaxed. “
