After consecutive T20I centuries, Sanju Samson gets back-to-back ducks for second time in 2024
Samson's poor form continues
Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson's poor form continued on Sunday as he registered his second pair of consecutive ducks in T20Is in 2024.
Samson, who had slammed back-to-back centuries in the T20I series against Sri Lanka in January, has since endured a lean patch.
p>In the first T20I against Australia on Friday, Samson was dismissed for a golden duck by Nathan Ellis.On Sunday, he suffered the same fate against the same bowler in the second match of the series.
Samson's struggles
Samson's struggles have been a cause of concern for the Indian team management.
The 28-year-old is considered a vital cog in India's T20I setup, but his recent form has raised doubts about his place in the side.
Samson has a reputation for being a big-hitter, but he has been guilty of throwing his wicket away cheaply in recent matches.
India's T20I woes
Samson's poor form is just one of the many problems facing the Indian team in T20Is.
The team has struggled for consistency in recent months, and their recent performances have been particularly disappointing.
India lost the T20I series against Sri Lanka 2-1, and they were also defeated by New Zealand in the final of the tri-series in January.
Samson's future
It remains to be seen whether Samson will be able to rediscover his form and cement his place in the Indian team.
The right-hander has been through a tough patch before, but he has always bounced back stronger.
However, if his poor form continues, he may find himself out of the team for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup in October.
