IPL2020, RR vs KXIP: Shane Warne expresses surprise on Samson not playing in all formats for India

Cricket | Sunday | 27th September, 2020

Australian legend Shane Warne on Saturday lauded Rajasthan Royals star cricketer Sanju Samson and said that he is astonished that the right-gave batsman is still not playing in all organizations for India.

Samson was granted Man of the Match for his thump which helped Rajasthan Royals arrive at 216/7 in the allocated twenty overs on Tuesday.

Samson had crushed his fifty off only 19 conveyances. The wicket-attendant batsman whacked CSK's spinners out of the recreation center. His rankling thump of 74 runs off 32 balls was studded with nine magnificent sixes.

Warne named Samson an "absolute champion" and said that he needs to see the 25-year-old cricketer wearing Indian hues in each of the three types of cricket.

“Sanju Samson, what a player he is. I have said for a long time and I think Sanju Samson is probably one of the most exciting players I have seen for a long time. I am surprised he is not playing all forms of cricket for India,” said Warne in an Instagram live session of Rajasthan Royals.

“He is that good. He is an absolute champion he is got all the shots, quality, and class. So hopefully he has a consistent year and helps Rajasthan Royals lift the IPL trophy and I hope to see in him Indian colors in all three forms of cricket,” he added.

Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab are scheduled to go one on one on Sunday, September 27 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
