5th T20I: Will Sanju Samson Get A Home-ground Lifeline Against New Zealand?

By IANS News January 26, 2026 • 19:10 PM View: 565

Will Sanju Samson: All eyes in the state capital in Kerala will be focused on the Greenfield Stadium, which hosts the fifth T20I against New Zealand in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday with the spotlight firmly fixed on one man — Sanju Samson.

Playing in his hometown in front of around 35,000 spectators that are expected to jam-pack the Greenfield Stadium, Samson stands at a familiar crossroads where promise, pressure, and perception collide. Samson’s recent outings have done little to ease the scrutiny.
