Poor performance cost Samson his place
Samson has struggled in recent games.In the first match, he scored just one run off 7 balls and was therefore left out of India’s starting XI for the second T20I against England.Prior to this, he also had a disappointing performance in the series against Ireland, scoring 0 and 5 runs in the two T20 matches.Although he was one of India’s key players in the shortest format, he was left out of the Zimbabwe squad after a series of low scores.Being left out is a huge setback for Samson, who played a crucial role in India’s recent T20 World Cup win.His consistent performance in the game earned him the Man of the Match award.
