Sanju Samson's World Cup Hopes Dim as Poor Form Continues

• Sanju Samson's poor form is a major concern for Team India ahead of the T20 World Cup, despite the team's strong performance against New Zealand.
• Samson was dismissed for a 'golden duck' in the third T20 against New Zealand in Guwahati, scoring only 16 runs in the previous two matches.
• He became the fourth Indian batsman to be dismissed on the first ball of an innings in T20 Internationals, joining KL Rahul, Prithvi Shaw, and Rohit Sharma.
• Samson's form has declined since 2025, averaging 11.55 in 9 innings with a highest score of 37.
• With Tilak Varma's return and Ishan Kishan's excellent form, Samson faces tough competition for a spot in the T20 World Cup squad.

Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's consistent poor form puts his T20 World Cup selection in serious jeopardy.
