‘Better Start Winning Matches’ – Gautam Gambhir Threatens Sanju Samson Ahead of T20 World Cup 2024
Gautam Gambhir urged Sanju Samson to start winning game for India.
As Sanju Samson gets ready to represent India in his first World Cup, ex-Indian batter Gautam Gambhir has shared a piece of advice for the Rajasthan Royals captain.
Sanju Samson has been trying to secure his spot in the Indian team for years, and the World Cup is his big chance. Gautam Gambhir has told him it’s time to start winning games for India and to play like the seasoned batter he is.
“Now that you’ve gotten picked in the World Cup team, you have that opportunity—the kind that you need to make sure you start winning games for India if you get the chance. You have that experience of playing international cricket. You are not a newbie that you will wait any longer,” Gambhir told SportsKeeda.
“You have tasted international cricket and you’ve done well in the IPL, and now you have the chance to play the World Cup. So, hopefully, Sanju shows the world what he is capable of at this stage. International cricket, that too in a stage like the World Cup, when you flourish, the whole world watches and takes note,” he added.
Sanju Samson’s T20 World Cup 2024 selection came after his outstanding performance in the ongoing IPL 2024. Leading Rajasthan Royals by example, he has been their second-highest run-scorer, amassing 504 runs with five half-centuries in 13 matches.
