'Peak Lasted Only 1 Game': Sanju Samson Trolled By Netizens For Back-To-Back Ducks
Introduction
Sanju Samson, the flamboyant wicket-keeper batter from Kerala, has been in the limelight for his impressive performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, his recent outings have been far from impressive, leading to him being trolled by netizens.
Samson's Struggles
Samson was one of the most consistent performers in the IPL 2022, scoring 458 runs in 14 matches at an average of 36.84 and a strike rate of 144.37. However, his form has taken a nosedive in the ongoing IPL 2023, with the batter failing to live up to expectations.
In the first match of IPL 2023, Samson scored a quickfire 30 off 21 balls against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, he has failed to build on that start, scoring only 1, 0, and 0 in his subsequent three innings.
Netizens Troll Samson
Samson's poor form has not gone unnoticed by netizens, who have taken to social media to troll the batter. Many have pointed out that his 'peak' lasted only one game, while others have questioned his ability to perform consistently.
"Sanju Samson's peak lasted only one game. What a disappointment," tweeted one user.
"Samson is a one-hit wonder. He can't perform consistently," wrote another.
Experts' Analysis
Cricket experts have also expressed concern over Samson's recent form. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that the batter is not in the right frame of mind.
"Samson is not in the right frame of mind at the moment. He is trying too hard and it's not working for him," Chopra said.
Another former India cricketer, Ajay Jadeja, feels that Samson needs to work on his technique.
"Samson has a good technique, but he needs to work on it. He is not timing the ball well enough and that's why he is getting out cheaply," Jadeja said.
Conclusion
Sanju Samson is a talented batter, but he has been struggling for form in the ongoing IPL 2023. Netizens have trolled him for his poor performance, while experts have expressed concern over his technique and mindset.
Samson will need to find a way to rediscover his form if he wants to help his team, the Rajasthan Royals, perform well in the IPL 2023.
