However, after the return of Shubman Gill in T20I cricket after about a year, the discussion has started regarding Samson’s batting order. According to media reports, the management currently has no plans to make Sanju open with Abhishek Sharma in the Asia Cup.
Rafi Gomez made a big statement
It is great thing to remain humble and grounded even after reaching such heights in life🌍.

Recently, Gomez was quoted by The Dailygraph as saying- Being a professional and internationally established player, Sanju is flexible enough to bat in the lower order and is able to make changes. His flexibility guides him and he has full confidence in his abilities.
Gomez said about the pressure on Sanju- Has Sanju said anything about being under pressure? No. So, all this is outside talk, and we do not care much about what is being said outside. Our focus is on ensuring that Sanju keeps getting better with the bat. He is just worried about the job he has to do for India.
What happened in the England T20I is an integral part of the game, which every cricketer goes through. Then, after the injury during the IPL, he spent the necessary time at the (BCCI) Center of Excellence to regain his fitness, and now, he looks in good shape in terms of rhythm and is playing in these KCL matches.
