Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar praised Sanju Samson's Player of the Match performance against Oman in the Asia Cup 2025. Samson's 56-run knock anchored the Indian innings and showcased his excellent timing and shot selection.
Gavaskar highlighted Samson's ability to control the innings and his elegant strokeplay, particularly a straight six he hit. He emphasized Samson's composure and the variety of shots he possesses.
Samson's innings proved crucial in India's 21-run victory, boosting his confidence ahead of potential middle-order roles in future matches.
“He batted extremely well. He needed to bat for long, and that's what he did, because he might come to bat at No. 4 or No. 5 in the next match, and his batting will be required there.”
