SSS - Superstar Sanju Samson


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Could be an odd comparison sanju's stroke making in last 3 innings was as clean as Rohit's (2019 odi wc)stroke making vs both pace and spin.

 

No bad shot hardly any mishits.

 

Have posted about him mishitting alot but these 3 innings he may have only mishit 3/4 times.

Unbelievable control percentage

 

88% , 86% , 76% -

Not that I am saying Agarkar was solely responsible, but Sanju was treated horribly all around.

 

Was always in the squad. This is on captain and coach.

 

Rinku's situation proved turning point for us

What is this?

Tenth, Twelfth and Graduation scores?

 

Not that good.

Could result in brickbats at home. Highly dependent on my moms mood.

Laughing at RR for trading in Sanju for washed up Jaddu!

 

Possibly huge money exchanged too. Dumb decision regardless to let go of your captain

They traded for Jadeja in T20! Why? Who would trade any player for Jadeja in a T20. At the moment he's just a specialist fielder. His bowling has fallen off and batting was never there for T20s.

CSK and MI get what they want. Remember all the drama with Pandya deal?

RR will be fine. Suryavanshi and Jaiswal are a solid opening pair. I think it's likely that Samson wanted to leave RR and Jadeja wanted to leave CSK so the switch happened.

 

Jadeja will be useful for RR cause.

MI yes. But CSK generally pick players discarded by others. They never went for any stars and made good players into right position to succeed. Likes of Rayudu, Uthappa, Bravo, etc. Don't think they ever pulled strings the way MI did for buying stars.

With Dhoni going they needed a captain and a keeper. I remember they got Flintoff through a ‘secret’ bid.

Don't even recall Flintoff playing IPL! :laugh:

 

But generally they never picked stars in an under-handed manner. They mostly went with rejects from other franchises who re-invented themselves. And they picked Samson when he wasn't really that big a star. This WT20 changed everything but before this he was another good batter.

Think sanju himself wanted to leave, RR already has Jaiswal a big Ind prospect and add Vaibhav as well to it. CSK with Dhoni just pushing each year had no big Ind star went for Sanju.

It also help sanju too in being in one of the 3 big IPL teams who can influence Ind team selections.

 

It as good move on both sides (Sanju and RR), RR looking to build on new Ind players, sanju is looking for better opportunity which can push him into Ind side.

RR brought it upon themselves. One of their owners is a relative of Parag and pushed for Parag to be captain, which created friction with Sanju last season. Don't think Sanju felt respected/valued in that franchise and wanted to move on.

Virtual QF, then SF and F. Monstrous performances in all of them. When was the last time we saw anything like this?

 

Perhaps Smith in 2015 WC but that team was on autopilot mode. Here our batting unit was struggling till they brought back Sanju, that too as opener.  

 

I have seen 2 back-to back bangers. Aravinda's heroics in 1996 SF and F come to mind. But 3? So special. 

 

Even if Sanju doesn't score a run for rest of life, his legacy is sealed. GOAT batting performance in the history of T20 WCs.

I never thought 2016 Kohli could be topped. But Sanju has done it.
