Sanju Samson’s Stellar Scores Raise Questions Ahead of Asia Cup


Sanju Samson has been on fire in the ongoing Kerala Cricket League 2025, and his recent performances are creating headaches for India’s selectors ahead of the Asia Cup starting September 9 in the UAE.
In his last four innings, Samson has scored 121 off 51 balls, 89 off 46, 62 off 37, and 83 off 41, helping Kochi Blue Tigers chase down targets with ease. His 49-ball 83 on August 31 against Alleppey Ripples sealed a 177-run chase with 10 balls to spare. Across five innings this season, he has amassed 368 runs at an astonishing average of 73.6 and a strike rate of 186.8, including 24 fours and 30 sixes.
Despite being named in India’s Asia Cup squad, Samson’s place in the Playing XI remains uncertain. Shubman Gill’s appointment as vice-captain could see team combinations shift, with Jitesh Sharma in line for the gloves and a finisher role. Yet, Samson’s purple patch is making it hard for head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav to consider benching him.
Off the field, Samson is also grabbing headlines. The 30-year-old is expected to part ways with Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2026. With multiple franchises reportedly interested, he could be the centrepiece of a major auction story next year.
For now, Samson’s bat is doing the talking. He couldn't have made a better time than this because the Asia Cup is approaching and the T20 world cup is near. The fans are keenly awaiting whether or not his impressive form will feature in the top order of the team in India.
