Sanju Samson to Make Test Debut Soon? Here's What Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir Said to RR Star

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. Claiming that he does not want to just be restricted to playing white-ball cricket, Samson revealed what the leadership management has asked him to play more Ranji games. ‘I believe I have the skillset to succeed in red ball cricket’"I believe I have the skillset to succeed in red ball cricket and I just don’t want myself to be restricted to just white ball cricket. My desire is to play Test cricket for India. Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play more Ranji Trophy matches," Samson said on Sportstar."My preparation was good this time around. After the series against Sri Lanka I trained at the RR Academy with Rahul Dravid Sir and Zubin Bharucha and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence as it came against some of the best bowlers in the country," he added.Match Day Loading! 🟩⬜️⬜️The #INDvNZ Test Series kicks off tomorrow in Bengaluru 👌👌🏟️ M.
