Sanju Samson, one of India’s most talented cricketers, keeps getting left out of the Indian cricket team and then he doesn’t even get a chance anytime soon. He played his first international match in the T20 format in 2015 but had to wait a long five years for the next game. At the same time, he made his debut in the ODI format in 2021 and his performance in the ODI format was good until the 2023 World Cup, but he still failed to secure a place in Team India’s World Cup squad. After this, Sanju Samson’s name was also not included in the squad for the T20 series that began against Australia. In such a situation, Sanju Samson revealed how Rohit Sharma supported him.
Sanju Samson spoke on Dhanya Verma’s YouTube channel about the support he received from Rohit Sharma in his career and said that Rohit Sharma was the first person who came and spoke to me. He said to me, “Hey Sanju, how are you? You did brilliantly in the IPL but against Mumbai Indians you hit a lot of sixes. You fought really well. He has really supported me a lot.” Apart from this, Sanju also said in his interview, “People call him a very unlucky cricketer, but I am not unlucky. I had never thought about getting to where I am today in cricket.”
Rohit Sharma was the only cricketer who supported Sanju Samson during his difficult phase.
