Sanju Samson, India’s explosive wicketkeeper-batter, is currently in the spotlight, but this time it’s due to allegations made by his father. In an interview with Malayalam news station MediaOne, Samson’s father voiced his displeasure about the trajectory of his son’s career. He accused prominent cricket figures such as MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and former coach Rahul Dravid of hindering Sanju’s progress in international cricket, claiming they “wasted 10 vital years” of his son’s career.
In the interview, Samson’s father expressed frustration about how his son’s journey in Indian cricket has been impacted by decisions made by these influential players and coaches. He stated that “captains like Dhoni ji, Virat ji, Rohit ji, and coach Dravid ji” held back his son’s opportunities, but emphasized how these setbacks have made Sanju stronger. This controversial statement has sparked considerable debate among fans and cricket experts, especially since Sanju is currently enjoying a resurgence with consecutive T20I centuries—a feat achieved by no other Indian.

Samson’s Struggles with Consistency and Competition in T20I Team
Despite his recent back-to-back centuries, Sanju Samson’s journey in T20I has not been smooth. His career, which began in 2015, faced frequent interruptions, and he struggled to maintain his place in the squad. While his powerful performances have impressed fans and selectors, consistency remains a challenge; he recently recorded two consecutive ducks against South Africa.
Samson faces stiff competition as new talents like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal vie for spots in the Indian white-ball squad. With players like Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul waiting for opportunities, the battle for a consistent position as an opener intensifies. Although Sanju has proven his mettle, the upcoming IPL and international fixtures may ultimately determine his standing in India’s T20 lineup.
