Why is Sanju Samson so highly rated?

Because if a player performs consistently in domestic cricket, then he can be brought into the national team and given consistent chances. 
 

 

As already shown, players in ODIs/T20s are no longer picked based on domestic cricket .... They are picked mostly based on performances in IPL

 

Can you give me an example of players who have made their debut recently in ODIs/T20s based on domestic performances

I admit Sanju is talented but even in IPL, he has massively underachieved for years with all the talent at his disposal. 
 

I don’t want someone like that to play for Team India and neither should you! 

 

 

What is underachieved? Can you give examples of what achievement is in IPL and which young players are meeting those criteria to be considered over Samson, a WK AR?

Iyer, Agarwal, Shaw, Khaleel all made their ODI debuts with little to show in IPL.

An inaccurate statement as the talent of most of them was observed in IPL (and some of them also played in a different format in international cricket to be transferred to ODIs/T20s)

You are saying he has won many matches in IPL, but he has lost many more than that throwing his wicket away countless times. 

 

Most top player has been guilty of that in his early years

His style has won them many games and so have its lost, thats what u get with attacking player

 

Dont like it there is always option of dhawan n rahane but then dont crib

Note that not everyone has to be a great batsman .... Great batsmen have hardly won India much - it is the likes of Yuvi, GG, Amarnath, Srikant, etc., who have put their hand up at key moments in tournaments like the WC

Kapil Dev. Topped most runs scored by Indian player in that series. The catch that he took. The wickets he took.

 

Roger Binny. He was highest wicket taker for India.

I feel that Shaw even though younger than Samson needs to be in T20i team. Pant too needs to be in team ahead of Samson. 

 

 

Rohit

Rahul

Shaw

Kohli

Iyer

Pant

Pandya

 

 

Agarwal and Gill as backup for top order based on IPL form.

Dhawan >>>> Samson in all formats.
It’s not even a comparison. 

 

By the way, it’s not “early years” for Samson. He’s been playing in IPL since 2013 and has played 90 List A matches as well but there is 0 improvement in his batting. 
 

Anyways, I don’t care how many games he wins/loses in IPL. My issue arises when people needlessly overrate him and ask for his inclusion in Team India.

Someone who averages 30 in List A cricket after playing almost 100 matches is not improving. Someone who is a batting mainstay for his IPL side but fails more than he succeeds is not improvement.
 

The guy is not international standards and will never get selected over Dhawan in any format. Even the selectors agree with me on this one so kudos to them :thumb:

 

Selectors of every team flip. For example, just last year, Jonny Bairstow was playing in the Ashes and now he doesn’t even have a ECB contract. Just because you rated a player at one point doesn’t mean you have to stick by that opinion forever. Maybe you should learn that and stop putting in all your might and effort in defending this domestic failure. :laugh:

No the point is how can u call someone a match winner and then say he isnt , there is no reason to stop rating someone who is under 30, batsman hit their pick post 28 mostly 

 

that any layman can after watching 2 good innings , its about backing a player when its tough

Yeah let’s blame the tournament when your favourites fail in it :hysterical: :hysterical:

 

This is the same tournament where the players you don’t rate like Agarwal and Iyer have been very successful in. 
 

Samson is not international standards. A guy who is a failure in domestic cricket will be an even bigger failure in international cricket. This is why he has never played ODIs for us. 
 

There is also no reason to highly overrate someone and ask for his inclusion in the Indian team despite being a domestic failure. 
 

He can get as much “backing” and “support” as he likes from his domestic and IPL teams. Just stay the F away from Team India!

Why don’t you rate List A? What makes it poorly organized? Just because your favourites are failures in it? :laugh: 

 

An international standards batsmen is someone who will be a good batsman for his national team. Meanwhile Samson is not even good enough for his domestic team Kerala! 
 

Forget Srini Mama, not even our unknown selectors want this failure in the Indian team. That’s why they aren’t picking him! :hysterical:

 

Maybe if he worked hard on his game at an equal amount of effort as you are doing here debating with me, he would have been playing for India today.
 

But alas, debating and fighting over a cricket forum isn’t going to transform a failure into a success! :laugh:

Nothing wrong with our domestic cricket. With the amount of low-class domestic trundlers we have, if Sanju can average only 30 against them then he should be ashamed of himself. Maybe BCCI should hire you so you can tweak things around to make your favourites look better than they are? :hysterical:

 

 

Show me an ODI squad in the past 5 years where Samson’s name is in it. Your fantasy team doesn’t count :laugh: 

 

I won’t change my opinion and “flip” on this guy until he proves himself in domestic cricket and neither will our selectors whose opinion matters the most. The opinions of his supporters like yourself have 0 value here. Zilch! 
 

My opinion doesn’t need to finish his international career because he doesn’t have one to begin with :hysterical:

Keep this guy and all other hacks away from Indian team. 

I don't think he is a hack. He scores on both sides of the ground. His problem is he just does not puts enough runs on the board more often than not and hence it also affects his average and consistency. Consistency and runs scored are a result of many many factors and qualities. He needs to analyse why he is failing and then take corrective steps to improve

Teams usually rely on the top 7 batsmen. There are 14 games and if teams target min 50% wins, if a batsman in combination of other 1-2 batsmen can help to win 3-4 games, he is doing fine. Samson has won two games already for his team (and played a minor role in its 3rd win). May be others need to step up more and of course Samson can win a few more too 

 

 

Good point! Hope he still has 1-2 match winning performances in the remaining games to end the 1 and done per season jinx.

Hack is the most misused word on this forum, nyways he is guy who has claimed kl rahul has no talent so u can understand him hack word coming from him.

 

About sanju problem is both sides

 

He needs a fix batting slit and thats top 3, his games is made for that.

He also has to be consistent
