Sanju Samson: There is a player in Indian cricket who performs well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) but his performance is not good in international cricket. Actually, this player is none other than Team India's wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson.

Sanju gets very few opportunities to play for Team India but when he gets the opportunity, he cannot perform well. Although, Sanju performs brilliantly in IPL but flops in international cricket.

Sanju Samson's disappointing performance against Sri Lanka

India recently toured Sri Lanka and a 3-match T20 series was played on this tour. Here Sanju Samson did not get a chance in the first match but he got a chance in the second and final match but he could not do anything special.

Sanju got out on zero on the very first ball in the second match, while in the third match he could not even open his account on 4 balls. In such a situation, he is not doing justice to the talent he has and he flops as soon as he enters international cricket.
