While batter Sanju Samson seems to have cemented his place in India’s T20I team, following a century in the first South Africa T20I which saw him become the first-ever Indian to score centuries in consecutive T20Is, there still remains to be some bitterness towards the people due to whom, he wasn’t able to get many chances to play for the Men in Blue.
In a heated video that is going viral, Sanju’s father, Samson Vishwanath, can be heard digging into the Indian team leadership and management of years past for ‘ruining’ his son’s cricket career.
In an explosive interview with Malayali news station MediaOne, Vishwanath criticized the likes of – MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid and blamed them for wasting 10 years of his son’s career.
“There are 3-4 people who wasted 10 years of my son’s vital career…captains like Dhoni ji, Virat ji, Rohit ji and coach Dravid ji,” Samson’s father said.
“These four people wasted 10 years of my son’s life but the more they hurt him, the stronger Sanju came out of the crisis,” he added.
However, Samson has drastically changed his fortunes with his recent performances in T20Is and is now in pole position to become India’s opener in the format following the retirements of Rohit and Virat following the T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year.
Samson made his T20I debut all the way back in 2015, at the age of 21, after performing brilliantly in domestic short-form cricket. However, a lack of consistency and batters such as Rohit and Kohli themselves blocking the route into the team, Samson would only be able to re-enter the fold in 2021.
