What Sanju should not do; Kumar Sangakkara with advice
Rajasthan Royals (RR) head coach Kumar Sangakkara advises Malayalam player Sanju Samson, who has been included in the Indian team for the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Sangakkara said that Sanju needs to stay calm with the opportunity in front of him and not get frustrated and do justice to his talent.
Sangkarare’s response was on Star Sports’ ‘A Chat With Champions’ show. Sanju should keep things simple and focus on batting. IPL is different, playing for India is different. What Sanju needs to focus on in the Indian team is to understand what your job is. When you go out, you make sure you are calm and you are clear on how you are going to do your job,” said Sangakkara.
Sanju’s batting will depend on where he lands. Whether Sanju bats at 5 or 6 in the top or lower middle order, he can play well. It requires careful handling of touch, position and mood. Sanju should not think this is his last chance to prove his mettle. But try to win, Sangakare said.
Sanju is an amazing actor. Have great talent and make sure you match what comes your way. Pay attention to the game and enjoy it. Do justice to his extraordinary talent. As long as you play well, you can enjoy cricket regardless of your results, said Sangakkare.
