Sanju Samson's remarkable form in the Kerala Cricket League continues, with the explosive batsman achieving a rare feat: scoring 13 runs off a single delivery. This incredible display of power hitting, combined with an 89-run knock off just 46 balls, has further fueled the debate surrounding his place in India's Asia Cup squad.
While some pundits argue that Shubman Gill's return makes Samson's inclusion unlikely, others, like Ajinkya Rahane, believe Samson's current form is too good to ignore. His ability to change the course of a match with his aggressive batting style makes him a valuable asset, especially in the T20 format.
Samson's recent performances have undoubtedly put pressure on the selectors, who face a tough decision as they finalize the Asia Cup squad. Whether he makes the cut or not, Samson's explosive form in the KCL has certainly made a statement.
