Sanju Samson's father, Vishwanath, criticized former Indian cricket captains MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, along with coach Rahul Dravid, for hindering his son's career. He claimed they wasted ten years of Samson's potential. Samson, who debuted in T20Is in 2015, struggled for consistent selection due to competition from established players. Recently, he has excelled, scoring back-to-back centuries and solidifying his place in the team. With Kohli and Sharma retiring after the T20 World Cup, Samson is now positioned as a key opener. His father acknowledged the support from new captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir in revitalizing his son's career.
