Before the Asia Cup 2025, Sanju Samson’s bat is fiercely spewing runs. Sanju is currently playing for Kochi Blue Tigers in Kerala Cricket League 2025 and is raining fours and sixes. Sanju has so far scored 285 runs in four innings played in this league at an average of 71.25 and a stormy strike rate of 182.69 and during this time he has also seen 22 fours and 21 skyscraper sixes with his bat.
Since the announcement of Team India for the Asia Cup, the question was arising whether Samson would have to leave his opening place for the new vice-captain Shubman Gill but Sanju has worked to increase the headache of Gautam Gambhir and Team Management with his performance. Prior to the Asia Cup, Sanju is in great form in the Kerala Cricket League and has played a big innings in three consecutive matches. In such a situation, it will not be an easy decision to exclude them in the Asia Cup at all.

In the last three innings, Sanju has also scored a century and two half -centuries and he has appeared in dangerous form. Sanju had undoubtedly performed a bad game in the domestic T20 series against England, but before that he had scored three centuries and the way he has performed as an opener in the last one year, it can be said that if he is not given a opening slot in the Asia Cup, it will be a great injustice to him.
