Sanju Samson has scored loads of runs both in domestic cricket and in the Indian Premier League. However, due to competition in the team setup, he wasn’t given enough chance. Samson made his debut for India back in 2015, however, as he was competing with great players such as MS Dhoni, this was a major reason behind him being in and out of the team. Also, the latter wasn’t able to cope with the given chances due to which he was later dropped from the team.
