Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar expressed his disappointment over Sanju Samson's shot selection during the T20I series opener against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
During the first T20I on Tuesday, Samson received a lifeline on the third ball of the seventh over as the fielder missed an opportunity to take a catch at deep mid-wicket. But on the fifth ball of the over, Samson went for a huge across-the-line hoick and the leading edge was caught by short third man off Dhananjaya de Silva for just five runs.
"And this time, it's the leading edge going to short third man. He is such a fine player. Sanju Samson has so much talent but his shot selection sometimes lets him down. And this is one more occasion where it has disappointed," said Gavaskar on air during the match.
