Sourav Ganguly Sets Major 'White-Ball' Demand Over Sanju Samson After Heroic 97: "He'll Hurt Opposition"

Sourav Ganguly, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, has emphasized the need for Sanju Samson to be a regular part of the national side in white-ball formats. Following Samson's impressive innings of 97 runs in a recent match, Ganguly expressed confidence that the wicketkeeper-batsman possesses the ability to significantly impact games and pose a serious challenge to opposing teams. Ganguly's endorsement comes amid ongoing discussions about the squad's composition and performance in limited-overs cricket. He highlighted Samson's potential to consistently deliver match-winning performances, which is crucial for India's aspirations in upcoming tournaments. Samson's recent form has reignited conversations about his role in the team, and with the World Cup approaching, Ganguly's call for his inclusion could influence selection decisions. As India gears up for crucial encounters, the cricketing fraternity is keenly watching how the management responds to Ganguly's assertive stance on Samson’s future in the white-ball arena.
