The talent is immense, but who will trust you? Special appeal made to Gautam Gambhir for Sanju Samson

News India Live, Digital Desk: If the fans’ hearts beat the most for any player in Indian cricket, then it is Sanju Samson. When he stays at the crease and hits shots, it seems how easy batting is. But then the same old story is repeated, Sanju comes into the team, sometimes performs, sometimes fails and then is out of the team for the next tour.

This trend has been going on for years. But now, the reins of Team India are in the hands of Gautam Gambhir, and cricket pundits believe that this is the right time when Sanju’s fortunes can change.

Recently there has been a big discussion in the corridors of cricket. Former cricketers and experts have given a simple and straightforward advice to head coach Gautam Gambhir. He says that there is no flaw in Sanju’s technique, the only thing missing is the “mental security” that a player needs to perform better.

What should Gambhir do?

The advice given is that Gautam Gambhir will have to go to Sanju Samson and put his hand on his shoulder and say in clear words – “Listen, you are playing the World Cup. The next 5-10 matches are yours. Whether you are out on zero or score a century, you will not be dropped from the team.”

Just imagine, when a boss in an office tells his employee, “Don’t worry about mistakes, I stand with you”, how much his work improves. It is exactly the same in cricket also.

What is the real problem with Sanju?

Experts believe that whenever Sanju comes to bat, he has only one fear in his mind – “If I don’t score runs today, my name will not be there in the next series.” Because of this fear (insecurity), even a good player gets out after playing bad shots. He knows that there are many other players waiting in the queue to take his place.

Gambhir’s style and expectations

We all know that Gautam Gambhir has been such a captain and mentor who supports his players till the end. Be it Kolkata team in IPL or any other occasion, Gambhir has always given freedom to his players to play like a lion.

Now the question is whether Gambhir will be able to give the same trust to Sanju Samson after becoming the coach? Will he be able to tell them to stop worrying about the results and play their natural game?
