Former Republic of India opener Wasim Jaffer has puzzled Sanju Samson‘s batting means within the ODI layout. Samson, who was once pushed aside for 9 runs in the second one ODI in opposition to West Indies, got here all weapons scorching within the 3rd and ultimate recreation. Coming in at quantity 4, he collision two sixes within the first 4 balls he confronted and ultimately scored 51 runs off 41 balls. His knock was once laced with two fours and 4 sixes. Samson ultimately perished date seeking to play games a lofted shot over the mid-off fielder.
“He (Sanju Samson) played well, but he plays a very high-risk game. If you look at his innings, he came out and hit those couple of sixes. It connected and went for six, but he could have gotten out if he had mistimed. That’s been the case with Sanju Samson. So, somebody to bat at number 4 and play like that, I have my doubts,” Jaffer informed ESPNcricinfo.
“That’s fine if the team management gives him that licence, but consistency is also an issue. You want to be destructive, but you don’t want to score in two or three innings out of six. That’s my concern. Even in the IPL, we have seen that there are some good innings and some really lean patches. That’s been the case. So he needs to learn,” he added.
