Thu Nov 14 10:51:51 UTC 2024: ## Sanju Samson’s Father Blames Dhoni, Kohli, Rohit, and Dravid for Son’s Career Setbacks
Sanju Samson’s father has made explosive claims in a recent interview, blaming former India captains MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, along with former coach Rahul Dravid, for “wasting” ten years of his son’s cricketing career.
Samson, who recently smashed back-to-back centuries in T20Is, has seen his career trajectory riddled with inconsistencies despite his undeniable talent. His father, in an interview with Malayali news station MediaOne, alleges that these prominent figures hindered his son’s development, leading to a period of stagnation.
“There are 3-4 people who wasted 10 years of my son’s vital career…captains like Dhoni ji, Virat ji, Rohit ji and coach Dravid ji,” Samson’s father claimed, adding that despite the setbacks, his son has persevered and emerged stronger.
However, Samson’s recent performance has been marred by two consecutive ducks against South Africa, raising further questions about his ability to consistently deliver at the highest level. He faces stiff competition from other talented players like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan, and KL Rahul, all vying for a place in the Indian T20I squad.
The accusations against Dhoni, Kohli, Rohit, and Dravid have sparked controversy, with some fans and experts questioning the validity of the claims. The debate over Samson’s career trajectory and the role of senior players and coaches in his development continues to be a hot topic in Indian cricket.
