Samson: A talent with untapped potential
Samson’s cricketing journey has been a blend of brilliance and unfulfilled promise. Despite his undeniable talent, he has struggled to cement his place in India’s star-studded lineup. Known for his elegant batting and impressive wicketkeeping skills, Samson has often dazzled in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and domestic circuits but has faced challenges in consistently delivering at the international level.
However in his recent T20I series against South Africa, Samson finally showcased his explosive abilities, smashing 105 runs off just 56 balls in the series opener at a staggering strike rate of 194.64. This knock made him the first Indian batter to score consecutive T20I centuries, a testament to his capability as a game-changer. Nevertheless, inconsistency crept in as he registered back-to-back ducks in the subsequent matches before bouncing back with an unbeaten 109 off 56 balls in the final game. His performance reaffirmed his potential but also highlighted the need for greater consistency on the global stage.
