**Durban, South Africa:** Former South African captain AB de Villiers has thrown his weight behind wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson, urging Indian selectors to include him in all three formats of the game. De Villiers believes Samson, who recently scored two consecutive T20I centuries, possesses the skill and temperament to thrive across formats.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, De Villiers lauded Samson’s recent performances, highlighting his ability to effortlessly score at a blistering pace. “Something has clicked in his game,” he said, noting Samson’s shift from a more conservative approach to a fearless and aggressive style. “He just sticks in his little bubble and he is easy on the eye,” De Villiers added.

The legendary batter expressed his belief that Samson’s talent extends beyond the shortest format. “I want to see this guy play all the formats,” he stated. “I think there is another gear, a sixth gear, I want to see it unfold.”

Samson’s back-to-back centuries, against Bangladesh and South Africa respectively, have undoubtedly caught the attention of cricket fans and experts alike. His ability to adapt his game and perform consistently at a high level, particularly in high-pressure situations, has made him a strong contender for a permanent spot in the Indian team. De Villiers’ endorsement adds further weight to the growing calls for Samson’s inclusion across all three formats.
