Samson will play for Indian soon: Shane Warne

Of all the talented cricketers that Shane Warne has seen over the years, Sanju Samson is the one that strikes him as "something else" and the Rajasthan Royals mentor feels that the big-hitting batsman would become an India regular in all formats if this IPL goes well for him.

 

The clamour to have the enormously gifted Kerala batsman play regularly for the national team has grown over the years and knocks of 74 (32 balls) and 85 (42 balls) for RR in the ongoing IPL have only amplified the noise.

 

Warne, the IPL-winning former Royals captain and brand ambassador, believes the day is not far away.

 

''I hope Sanju has a consistent tournament this year. If he has a consistent tournament this year, I think you will see him representing India in all forms of the game," Warne said.
