Which Indian cricketer's technical issues including a 'laden back-foot' and 'improper bat swing' have raised concerns ahead of the T20 World Cup starting February 7?
Sanju SamsonSanju Samson has been experiencing a lean patch in form that has worried the Indian cricket think-tank ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. Technical discrepancies including a laden back-foot position and improper bat swing have crept into his batting technique, leading to a draining of confidence despite his natural talent as a free-flowing batsman. Since Samson is considered a contender for the pivotal opening slot at the marquee ICC event, this dip in form cannot be allowed to become terminal. The management hopes that playing in his hometown of Thiruvananthapuram with passionate home support might help him rediscover his rhythm and confidence. His importance to the team was evident from a BCCI video showing captain Suryakumar Yadav playfully clearing the way for 'Chetta' (elder brother) at the airport exit where hundreds of fans had gathered to welcome the local favorite.
