Sanju Samson came under fire on social media after another low score in the second T20I against Bangladesh. Samson, who was dismissed for 10 off 7 balls, was caught by Najmul Hossain Shanto off Taskin Ahmed’s slower delivery.
Facing a 122.3kph off-speed ball, Samson attempted to play it through the covers but ended up chipping it straight to mid-off. This marked the fourth slower ball in a row from Taskin, which finally yielded a wicket. Samson’s innings included two boundaries, but he was unable to build on his start, leaving fans disappointed.
The backlash on Twitter followed swiftly, with many questioning his recent form and ability to contribute consistently to the team. Fans have been eagerly waiting for Samson to show his potential in the T20I format, but his early dismissal in this match has sparked criticism yet again –
