Can Sanju Samson finally do justice to the enormous talent that he possesses?
Can Sanju Samson finally do justice to the enormous talent that he possesses?

Sanju Samson's non-selection in the Indian ODI side has been baffling for the Indian fans. Samson oozes class whenever he comes out to bat in the IPL. The Kerala wicket-keeper batsman has played some stunning innings in the IPL and has taken on some of the best bowlers in the world. However, Samson has failed to make it to the Indian ODI side. Samson has his inconsistent performances in the domestic cricket to blame for this snub. The 24-year-old averages just 36.81 in first-class cricket. His list A numbers are even worse as his average comes down to a poor 27.36.

Having said that, there is no doubt that Samson has the talent to perform in international cricket. He can be India's long term number 4. It will be interesting to see whether the Indian selectors are willing to give Samson a long run in the ODI side.
