New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has attributed Sanju Samson’s poor form and inconsistent performance in the team to his constantly changing batting position. Uthappa believes that Samson can perform exceptionally well if given a stable role in the team. He recently suggested that Samson should bat at number 3 in T20 cricket.

Instability in Batting Position

According to Uthappa, Samson doesn’t get a fixed batting slot in the team. He is made to bat at numbers 4 or 5, which affects his rhythm and confidence. The constantly changing positions make his performance inconsistent.

The Importance of a Stable Role

Uthappa wants Samson to have a fixed role in the team. Batting at number 3 will help him build his rhythm and deliver aggressive and reliable performances for the team.

Recent Suggestion

For the upcoming T20 series, Uthappa suggested that Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma should open the innings, and Samson should bat at number 3. This will bring balance to the team and provide stability to Samson.

Team Balance and Success

A stable role will be beneficial not only for Samson but also for the team. The team management should give the player a clear responsibility to improve his performance.
