Sanju Samson believes that in past few years he has prepared himself in a manner that no one terms him a one-dimensional cricketer.
“Playing different roles is something I have worked on for a lot of years. I am confident of batting anywhere in the order.”
“You should not fix a spot for yourself. You cannot tell people: ‘I am an opener or I am a finisher.’In the last three-four years, playing in various roles and spots (in the order) has added a new dimension to my game,” he said.
Sanju Samson further said that there is a lot of competition in the Indian team and finding a place in the national setup is highly challenging for the players.
“It really does get challenging. Finding a place in the Indian team is really challenging. There is a lot of competition around, even within players who are in the team now. When these things happen, it is important to focus on myself,” Samson said in response to a question.
“I am happy with the way I am performing. I want to improve…,” he added.
The quality of cricketers we have in our team is unbelievable – Sanju Samson
“The quality of cricketers we have in our team is unbelievable. So, it really helps each and every individual to raise their level. We keep on challenging ourselves. We try to perform every time we get an opportunity,” Samson said.
“The A series always keeps the fringe players in the selection radar and Samson is happy to lead the national A team.
“They (India A games) are really important. There is not much difference between an A game and international game. The competition is almost the same. so it is important to make use of the opportunities.”
