Sanju Samson
Former India -off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes that opener Sanju Samson should take immediate steps to improve his game against the short ball, so that his mind does not play against him. Ashwin’s statement has brought about Samson’s recent performance, in which he played a brilliant T20 series against South Africa, but his performance in the domestic series against England was very weak. Samson scored only 51 runs in five innings against England and was dismissed in front of fast bowlers each time. Especially against short length balls, his weakness emerged, which raises serious questions on his form. Apart from this, he will now be out of the field for five to six weeks due to a finger injury in the fifth T20 match.
What did Ashwin say?
Ashwin said that if Samson continues to be dismissed in this way, then his mind will be surrounded by unwanted questions. He will be forced to wonder whether the bowler is bowling properly or there is any shortage in his game. Once such questions arise, the situation becomes more difficult for the player. Ashwin said on his Hindi YouTube channel that I will not pay attention to the failure of a player in T20 cricket, but will see how he is getting out and how his decision is to be decided. Players like Samson are able to find solutions and they will focus on it.
Ashwin also mentioned Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav during this period, who failed to score runs in the T20 series with Samson. It was the worst bilateral series ever for Surya, scoring only 28 runs at an average of 5.6, including zero dismissal. Ashwin believes that Suryakumar has to change his approach to return to form.
Surya also advised Surya
He said that it can happen in one or two matches, but it is quite surprising. When you know that the bowler is bowling in a certain way, you should adopt a different view for that ball or avoid it and force the bowler to bowl according to his strength. Suryakumar Yadav is an experienced player and has no doubt on his ability. Now the time has come for him to work on his game and adopt some new approach. Ashwin’s views can be an important advice for talented players like Samson and Suryakumar Yadav, who can return to the form by improving their weakness.
