Sanju Samson has said that he is being considered for red-ball cricket by the Indian think tank consisting of Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir. He said that the Team India leadership group has asked him to play more Ranji Trophy matches.

Here are three reasons why Sanju Samson is likely to excel under Gautam Gambhir's guidance: strategic insight, mentorship, and support.

Sanju Samson claims that Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir have asked him to focus on red-ball cricket in the domestic circuit. Samson, who has been in the circuit for nearly two decades is yet to make his Test debut.

"Gautam used to wait for Sanju to do well for him to tweet. Gautam was a Sanju fan. He may still be a Sanju fan because of the way he batted. Firstly, he hit five sixes in an over. He said his mentor had asked him to do so. It came to my mind why his mentor didn't talk about six sixes," he added.

In a stunning performance, Sanju Samson scored 111 runs in 47 balls against Bangladesh, marking a milestone for Indian wicket-keeper batters. He highlighted the mental challenges of T20 cricket and expressed gratitude for the backing from the team’s leadership group before the series.
