‘I will get you out of the team only then ..’, Sanju Samson opened heart, told how Gautam Gambhir changed the career attitude
Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan Royals and wicketkeeper-batsman of Team India, was recently in the headlines for being dropped due to limited availability from the Dilip Trophy. In Ashwin’s YouTube show ‘Kutti Stories’, he revealed that for a long time coming and going to the team was a tired experience for him.
Sanju said, “It was happening on and off in the team for a long time, it was not easy to be honest, Anna. I played international cricket for 8-9 years, but played only 15 matches.”
After this, he told how the situation changed after the World Cup. Gautam Gambhir joined the team and Suryakumar Yadav became the captain. Surya told him, “Chetta (elder brother), is a big opportunity for you. The next seven matches will be played as an opener.” But in the first two matches in Sri Lanka, Samson was dismissed for Zero.
Sanju said, “I was a little upset in the dressing room, then Gautam Bhaiya came and asked what happened. I said. So he said,” So he said, “So I will get you out of the team only when you get out on zero 21 times.” At that time I felt that they really trust me and I felt safe. ”
These words of Gambhir did wonders. After this, Samson scored a century in the Bangladesh series and scored at an average of 50.00. Then by hitting two centuries in 4 matches against South Africa, he proved that Gambhir’s trust did not go in vain.
Sanju’s revelation shows that the trust and support of a player can completely change the career of a player at the right time.
