Malayalam Star Sanju Samson Makes History by Securing Spot in Indian Squad for ICC Twenty20 World Cup

The main question among Indian cricket fans awaiting the announcement of the Indian squad for the ICC Twenty20 World Cup to be held in the West Indies and the United States from June 2 to 29 was whether ​​​​​​​Malayalam star Sanju Samson opportunity. Sanju topped the list of omissions in most Indian team announcements. Even in the occasional opportunities, he has not been able to produce enough talent to make a place in the team. The fact that the selectors had earlier clarified that the World Cup squad will be selected on the basis of the IPL performance has made Sanju’s ability an active debate. The Indian team was announced the previous day by giving Sanju a chance as a wicket-keeper batsman as judged by former players.

After hearing the news of his inclusion in the team, Sanju took to his Instagram account with a picture and captions. This viral post was a picture of him wearing the Indian team jacket and the words ‘Vierp Thunniya Kuppayam’! The words that Sanju could identify with his life and career at that time were After much neglect and neglect, Sanju took his place in the Indian team through hard work.

Sanju’s excellent performance in the IPL this season paved the way for the Indian team. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju has scored 385 runs including four fifties in nine matches in the season. Sanju leads in terms of batting average and strike rate than Virat who is number one in run scoring. Despite making his debut in the Indian team in 2015, Sanju only got a chance in 25 Twenty20 internationals. This is the first time he has made the team for an ICC tournament. Sanju was not included in the squad for last year’s ODI World Cup. After that, he played in the ODI series on the tour of South Africa and scored his first century in an Indian shirt.

KL Sanju has joined the team where Rahul, Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer could not find a place. Sanju has a huge responsibility to live up to the expectations of not only the selectors but also the fans. This is also a golden opportunity for Sanju, who has been in and out of the Indian team many times, to make his place permanent. Sanju knows that better than anyone else. So Sanju will be ready for more sweat, for sure. In 1983, the 15-member team that won the first ODI World Cup included Sunil Valsan, a Malayalee from another country. Sreesanth had his signature on the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup titles. May Sanju will be the Malayalee touch in India’s next World Cup win.
