SL vs IND | Twitter reacts to Samson’s nightmare outing as consecutive ducks follows catching botch
When things go wrong, misfortune tends to pile up. India’s Sanju Samson withstood a similar fate in the third T20I between Sri Lanka and India on Tuesday as misfortune kept piling up for the wicketkeeper batter with sloppy glovework adding woes to back-to-back ducks in the series.
Following an early setback with the cost of four wickets inside the powerplay, the Indian middle order struggled to post a formidable total on the board. However, handy contributions from Riyan Parag, Shubman Gill, and Washington Sundar steered India to 137/9 in the first innings before the Sri Lankan openers got off to a stable start in the second innings. The Men in Blue had a disastrous day in the field with Samson’s nightmare-like day epitomizing the effect.
With the Sri Lankan pair of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis withstanding against the new ball watchfully, Siraj created a chance on the fifth ball of the sixth ball, that went begging, courtesy of Samson’s poor glovework. The right-arm quick bowled a good length delivery from over the wicket around the fourth stump that jagged a shade away to kiss the outside edge of Mendis en route to the keeper. Samson failed to grab the ball to his right, dropping a dolly.
India was yearning to get a breakthrough but the dropped catch from the Kerala-based individual turned out costly for them with Mendis setting up the chase calculatively. Earlier, Samson was dismissed for a four-ball duck, on the back of a golden duck in their latest game, and a few more glovework botches added to the woes as the innings progressed. On a general day, he would’ve fancied to get the job done as wicketkeeper but the Twitterverse was left abuzz on the 29-year-old’s nightmare outing.
