“You have to come better prepared and make sure you make it count,” Harbhajan Singh’s big warning to Sanju Samson
Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that the side’s wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson needs to capitalize on his opportunities. Samson played all the three matches in the T20I series against Australia, but failed to impress, registering scores of 23, 15 and 10.
The 26-year-old, who played purely as a batsman, batted at number four in all the games. KL Rahul is the first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman in the playing XI.
Harbhajan was extremely disappointed by Samson’s performance and issued a warning for hiWhile speaking to India Today, Harbhajan stated that Samson can fight his way back if he learns from his mistakes and seals the opportunity in the Indian jersey. “Sanju has got the opportunity to bat at No.4. He is still on his first or second tour, he will learn.
We know that he has got the potential and India won the series,” Harbhajan Singh was quoted as saying. “These guys will be the future of Indian cricket. You know if they will not make mistake, they will not learn.
I am sure Sanju Samson with the quality he has, is gonna learn and get better from here,” he added. At the same time, Harbhajan also warned that if the mistakes aren’t taken care of in time, someone else might come forward and grab the spot. “If he will not learn obviously someone else will come and take that slot.
Because no.4 is a very important slot. If you have got the opportunity, you have to seal it. If not on this tour but next tour, you have to come better prepared and make sure you make it count,” Harbhajan said.
Sanju Samson, who made his T20I debut in 2015, has so played just 7 games so far, scoring 83 runs with no fifty-plus scores. He will be part of Rajasthan Royals (RR) for the IPL 2021.
