IND vs SL: Wasim Jaffer slams Sanju Samson for not taking advantage of the batting against Sri Lanka

IND vs SL: Former Indian team opener Wasim Jaffer is not happy with the performance of Sanju Samson in the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka (India vs Sri Lanka).

He believes that Sanju has a lot to offer to the team in the T20 format but he has disappointed. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were rested in the T20 series against Sri Lanka.

Only then there was a place in the team for Sanju Samson. However, he missed capitalizing on this opportunity.

On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer, who scored half-centuries in all three matches, has presented his claim to secure a place in the team given the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Sanju could not get a chance to bat in the first match. In the second match, he played in the middle order and scored 39 runs in 25 balls. In the last match, he opened with Rohit Sharma but went on to score only 18 runs.

Wasim Jaffer said in the noise of ESPN Cricinfo, “Sanju Samson did not take advantage of the opportunity.

During the match of today (Sunday) and tomorrow (Saturday), he had a good chance to return to Team India by performing brilliantly. He could have established himself as the third wicketkeeper or batsman but failed.

Wasim Jaffer said, “He made a lot of promises. He also showed a glimpse of what he could do but could not take advantage of the opportunity that others took. I feel very sorry for him because he has a lot to show in this format.”
