Sanju Samson has named in the Indian T20I squad for the West Indies series as the replacement of the injured Shikhar Dhawan. However, he has faced axes many times despite having match-winning knocks. But, the Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman is not irked by all these and also not worried about the consistency in his game.

“I have never thought of that (consistency) as an issue. What I have understood is that I am a bit different type of a player where I just feel that I should go and dominate the bowlers,” Sanju Samson told news agency IANS. “So, when I have a style and I am looking to dominate the bowlers, it can happen…if I go behind consistency, I will lose my style of batting. I don’t want to change my style of playing to bring in consistency.”

“I like to keep things as simple as possible and when I get the opportunity I look to score big. If I get five innings, I want to score big in one or two innings and win matches for my team,” he said. “Consistency in my innings won’t win matches for my team. It is more important to play an outstanding innings to win my team games. I go behind that kind of idea.”

With MS Dhoni on a break ever since India’s semi-final exdefeat against New Zealand in the ICC World Cup and Rishabh Pant under the scrutiny for the poor performances, both with bat and behind the stumps, Sanju Samson could fill the place with both bat and gloves.

“The dream is to win the World T20 for India in Australia. I am training for that, not to be a part of the team. I want to win the World Cup for my country and that is the standard I set for myself and that is how I plan my work ethics,” he said.

“Definitely the dream is to win the trophy as it has been a while since we won one and I would definitely want to have some quality contributions in the process. That is the dream and I am working towards it,” Sanju Samson concluded.
