Sanju Samson's Poor Form Continues With 11 Runs Against West Indies

India opener Sanju Samson's batting struggles deepened during the first T20I against West Indies at Lucknow on Tuesday. The wicket-keeper batter managed only 11 runs off nine balls before getting out in the match at Ekana Cricket Stadium.

This continues a difficult run for Samson across his last five T20I innings. Prior to the West Indies match, he had scored 9 runs against Japan, 2 runs against Pakistan, and 7 runs against Sri Lanka. His only fifty in this span came against Afghanistan on September 17, when he hit 50 off 35 balls.

Fans have expressed frustration on social media over Samson's form, questioning the team's selection choices. Some have called for younger players like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to be given opportunities, though Samson remains recognised for his T20 World Cup contributions earlier this year.
