Sanju Samson Smashes 42-Ball Century: Sanju Samson made such a blast with the bat in Kerala Cricket League (KCL) 2025 that everyone’s eyes were on her. This innings before the Asia Cup has made the race of opening slots more interesting. There are already many discussions about Team India’s opening position and Samson’s performance can now force the selectors to think.

The Kerala Cricket League (KCL) Sanju Samson, who was playing for Kochi Blue Tigers in 2025, showed his class in a bang on Sunday (24 August). In the last match, where he could not give up a special impact with the bat, this time Samson took the news of the bowlers fiercely against Aries Kollam Sellers. He hit a century in just 42 balls and scored 121 runs in a total of 51 balls in the innings, scoring 14 fours and 7 sixes. His strike rate was above 237.

Samson not only succeeded his team in chasing a huge target of 237 runs with this blushing innings, but has also stored strong claims for the Asia Cup opening position. For the last one year, he has been opening with Abhishek Sharma in T20 for India and has also scored three centuries during this period. But as soon as the team management announced the Squad of Asia Cup 2025, Shubman Gill was indicated to take off on the opening slot by making vice -captain.

In such a situation, this fiery innings of Sanju can now make the selection even more interesting for Team India. In Gautam Gambhir’s coaching, it will be interesting to see where they are fitted with Gill and Abhishek, will they be the opener or will the team use them in the role of a finisher.
