Sanju Samson has a high PR machinery and supported by Kerala fans not cause of his talent but in their heads they believe he's better than Rahul,Ishan, Gill,Pant cause of lack of opportunities. Those guys have already established than he has so why should Samson be backed!?

So, the West Indies tour proved to be a rather forgetful experience for Sanju Samson. Now, only time will tell whether he will be able to make the most of the opportunities that he is been served with. Samson will now be seen in the Ireland tour, which is scheduled to begin on August 18, 2023.
