Indian star Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has often attracted criticism for his inconsistent performances at international levels. Since he was provided with a lot of opportunities, he constantly failed in delivering good performances.
Though his talent is unparalleled, his performance in Indian team has gone short of expectations. Sanju has always been aware of the pressure to deliver out good performance, and has continuously aimed to regain the trust of coaching staff.
Recently, under the watch of Gautam Gambhir, Sanju spoke about a period of such a bad form where he could not even make eye-contact with Gambhir, even though Gambhir has been someone who admired Sanju’s batting skills.
“A player’s relationship with his coach is quite important. When you get the coach’s backing, you want to repay the faith with performances. It was my wish to make him happy for all the chances I was being given. So when I was out early in one-odd match, I was trying to avoid eye-contact with him and waiting for my chance. So really happy when I struck a century and Gauti bhai was clapping for me“, Sanju said on a YouTube channel.
