\n <\/div>\nSanju Samson walking back to the pavilion during RR’s IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 match vs SRH.\u00a9 BCCI<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson had a good show in IPL 2024. On the captaincy front, he led the side to Qualifier 2 where they lost to SunRisers Hyderabad by 36 runs. Meanwhile, as a batter, Samson scored 531 runs at an average of 48.27 and strike rate of 153.47. However, he failed to showcase his glamour in the Qualifier 2 and lost his wicket for 10 runs off 11 balls in the game in Chennai during RR’s chase of 176.<\/p>\n Samson pulled a flat length delivery of Abhishek Sharma to the right of long-on fielder Aiden Markram, who did not make any mistake.<\/p>\n Former India cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar was left fuming over the dismissal while speaking on Star Sports as quoted by Sportskeeda<\/a>. He questioned the player’s shot selection.<\/p>\n “What’s the use of scoring 500 runs if you can’t win your team the match or title? Everyone got out while playing glamorous shots. Why has Samson not had a steady India career? It’s because his shot selection has let him down,” said Gavaskar.<\/p>\n Gavaskar even went on to say that Samson’s poor shot selection has played a huge role in him not being a permanent member in the Indian team.<\/p>\n “If his shot selection had been good, his India career too would have been long. I hope that the opportunity he has got in the T20 World Cup, he grabs it with both hands and cements his place,” the legend said.<\/p>\n It is worth noting that Samson has found a place in the 15-member India squad for T20 World Cup 2024.<\/p>\n Rishabh Pant, who has also made it to the squad as another wicketkeeper-batter in the team, is likely to be India’s first choice in the tournament. This means that Samson will either get no or very limited chances in the T20 event.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
