IPL 2018: Sanju Samson shocks Twitter with super knock, fans ask 'why is he not playing for India'

Sanju Samson played a brilliant attacking innings of 92 not out off just 45 balls to take Rajasthan Royals to 217/4 in their 20 overs on Sunday. Samson hit 10 sixes and 2 fours during his innings. He accelerated perfectly throughout his innings- he was 42 from 30 balls at the end of 16th over. He smashed 50 runs off the next 15 balls. RR added 88 runs in the last five overs.

Now that is what you expect from a player of the undeniable class of Sanju Samson. Not pretty 30s and 40s but biggies. What an innings this was...

That was a special innings from Sanju Samson. Great Vishu gift. Love watching him bat. 217 even for RCB’s formidable batting line up is a daunting total #RCBvRR

Of course, fans wanted to know why Sanju Samson is not playing for India already.

When will IPL export Sanju Samson to bilateral International cricket?

Sanju Samson deserves a place in the Indian Team. Even purely as a batsman, he is far ahead of many in the current team. Massive talent.
