Samson's 37: Talent Shines, But Gill's Shadow Looms Over T20I Future

  • Sanju Samson scored a quick 37 runs off 22 balls in the 5th T20I against South Africa.
  • His performance came in the absence of injured Shubman Gill, hitting four fours and a six.
  • Despite the knock, Samson's T20I playing XI spot remains uncertain, with management favoring Gill.
  • Samson has frequently faced inconsistent selection and batting order changes.
  • Hardik Pandya (63 off 25) and Tilak Varma (73) powered India to a 232-run target.

Why It Matters: Samson's talent is clear, but his T20I future is uncertain due to Gill's preference and selection issues.
