Fans on Twitter/X expressed their frustration towards India’s wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson due to his lackluster performances in the ongoing five-match T20I series against the West Indies. Widely recognized as one of India’s most promising batters, Samson is known for his positive approach and game-changing abilities.
Despite his talent and successful outings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Samson has struggled to secure a consistent spot in Team India’s lineup. However, the ongoing West Indies tour presented him with consistent opportunities, but unfortunately, he has failed to capitalize on them.

Anticipation was high for Sanju Samson to deliver impactful innings if not big scores, yet his performances in the current T20I series have been underwhelming. Across three innings, he has failed to produce noteworthy performances.
In the first two T20Is, Samson managed scores of 12 and 7 respectively. Unfortunately, his struggle continued in the series-deciding fifth T20I, where he was dismissed for a mere 13 runs off 9 balls at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida.

Although Samson crossed the milestone of 6000 T20 runs during the fifth match, his inability to capitalize on the opportunities provided has drawn criticism from fans on X. They expressed disappointment over what they perceive as an underutilization of his talent and his failure to make a mark in the ongoing series.

Each and every player contributed at some point in this series except for the legend Ganju Ganson. #SanjuSamson this guy is just not fit for international cricket of any formats. Just kick him out and look for someone better
