The Kerala-based batsman who had debuted for team India in 2015 and was considered former India captain MS Dhoni's heir has constantly been in and out of the Indian team and surprisingly never played three consecutive T20I matches in the Indian colors.
The BCCI announced a 15-member men's squad for the upcoming Asia cup which is to be played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Surprisingly, Samson was yet again left out by the team management.
Shreyas Iyer and his struggles against the short ball have continued and it doesn't seem that they are going away any soon.
As BCCI announced the final T20I squad for the Caribbean tour, what raised many eyebrows was Sanju Samson's omission from the T20I squad.
The announcement of squad left fans disheartened and emotional messages backing their favourite players started circulating
Sanju Samson has been one of the very few players in Indian cricket who has played the kind of T20 cricket in demand. Attacking, fearless, and in your face. But unfortunately for Samson, the method hasn't yielded any dividends.
Samson's last international match was against Ireland where the RR skipper made a brilliant 77 off just 42 deliveries.
Hooda and Samson also raced ahead of Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan and broke the record of highest partnership for the second wicket.
Samson's place in the Indian team has been up for debate more often than not. This selection warrants a question - Why was Sanju Samson selected in the squad if he wasn't going to be in the starting eleven?
Samson needs backing, his place in the eleven shouldn't be up for debate for a while, and that is when you can hold him responsible for his performances.
It is not the first time Samson has made it to the Indian team. He has been in and out of the national setup for some time now. He performs well, dons the blue jersey, and exuberates brilliance for a while, but then he vanishes till the next IPL season.

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has broken an unwanted record which was created by MS Dhoni in the year 2012.
Whether Sanju Samson will make a comeback with his bat, going against all odds, proving all criticisms wrong, and making his supporters jump with joy is something to watch out for.
Samson has never had a 500+ runs season. Forget 500, he has just had 2 seasons where he has scored 400 plus runs.
Sanju Samson scored his second half-century of the season in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Going into the auction, the Royals will have INR 62 crore in their purse, having retained three players in the form of Sanju Samson (14 crore), Jos Buttler (10 crore), and Yashasvi Jaiswal (4 crore).
