GT vs RR IPL 2022 - A lot of internet uproars have been going on the internet ever since Sanju Samson was again overlooked for the Indian T20I squad. As BCCI announced the teams for T20Is against South Africa and the test against England, Sanju Samson's name was yet again missing as Rishabh Pant was chosen as the primary wicket-keeper along with Dinesh Karthik as the second keeper.
All eyes were on the Rajasthan Royals captain as he took the field in Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans. The 27-year old keeper-batter came out to bat in the 3rd over as Rajasthan lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (3) on the last delivery of the second over by Yash Dayal.
Sanju Samson started off his innings with a six on the very first delivery, and went on to score 30 runs without a single or a double, but with the help of three fours and three sixes. Samson held the crease as he etched a partnership of 68 runs in47 deliveries with opener Jos Buttler. Interestingly, Samson contributed 47 of these 68 while the Englishman contributed 15 runs in 21 deliveries.
