‘He always belonged here…..’ – Sunil Gavaskar makes bold prediction for Sanju Samson after his blistering century in 3rd ODI vs SA

Team India won the ODI series against South Africa by 2-1 on December 21 at Boland Park in Paarl. The Men in Blue displayed a solid performance in the final ODI; however, Sanju Samson’s blistering century helped the visiting side defeat the home team in the three matches of the ODI series. However, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has made a huge prediction about Sanju Samson after his 108 runs off 114 balls, featuring six fours and three sixes.

Sunil Gavaskar affirms that the century of Sanju Samson will change his career. In addition, the former India skipper feels that the middle-order batter has delivered his talent at the right time to show his presence to the world. The legendary cricketer feels Samson’s milestone eludes him over anybody.

“This century will change his career. He always belonged here. We all know the talent that he has. We have all been saying look at the talent that he has got but not yet delivered. Today he delivered. Not just for everybody but for himself too,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

I feel really emotional, going through the emotions now: Sanju Samson

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has also revealed his emotions after the hammering century. The middle-order batter was extremely ecstatic to deliver great performances in the series, as he worked hard physically and mentally to achieve great heights. Meanwhile, the stylish right-handed batter reveals his pragmatic skills with Tilak Varma to take the inning deep to put visitors in a commanding position.

“I feel really emotional, going through the emotions now. I am very happy to achieve this. I have been putting in a lot of work, both physically and mentally, and I am happy to see the results go my way now. They bowled really well with the new ball, and the older ball was getting slower and more difficult to bat. But me and Tilak stuck it out and went strong at the end. Me and Tilak had decided that we had to go hard from the 40th over onwards,” Sanju Samson said at the mid-innings break.
