Sanju Samson has been in sublime form since turn of year. After a dismal IPL 2019 with Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson made most of his limited opportunities for India A, including scoring a 48-ball 91 in a rain-curtailed match against South Africa A. Samson scored fastest List-A double hundred and continued his form in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, only to be overlooked by selectors again.
