Sanju Samson showcased his explosive form yet again in the ongoing Kerala Cricket League (KCL), delivering a blistering knock that has reignited conversations around his role in India’s T20I setup ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. The wicketkeeper-batter hammered a scintillating 83 off just 41 deliveries, smashing nine towering sixes and two fours against Alleppey Ripples on Sunday night.

Chasing a target of 177, Samson led from the front for Kochi Blue Tigers, dismantling the opposition’s bowling attack and securing a comfortable win for his side. The performance marked his fourth consecutive fifty-plus score in the tournament, reinforcing his consistency and current purple patch.

His previous three innings were equally dominant, 121 off 51, 89 off 46, and 62 off 37, underlining his ability to maintain a high strike rate across innings. Notably, all these performances have come while opening the innings, in which Samson has flourished of late.
