Life is all about making the best use of the opportunity that comes your way. They are so few and far in between that one has to be at the right place at the right time and make optimum use of whatever chances that comes his/her way. Sports, and especially Cricket, do not bore an exception to it. It is not an aberration to say that Indian cricket is overflowing with talent. For every potential spot in the playing 11, there are more than a dozen equally deserving contenders for the aforementioned place.

And, you would have seen on a plethora of occasions in the past that despite a string of consistent performances in the domestic set-up, he or she does not even get a chance for a national call-up. He grinds, scores, again grinds and again scores, but does not get the opportunity to represent his country.

But, sometimes, adversity for one comes wearing clothes of opportunity for the other! And, it is all up to the individual as to how he perceives it. Shikhar Dhawan’s injury may have been another adversity in his career but it has come as a breath of fresh air of opportunity for Kerala and Rajasthan Royals swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson.

Samson is sweating it out ahead of the upcoming West Indies series

Samson was unceremoniously dropped from India’s T20I squad against the West Indies despite having not got any chance to prove his credentials in the recently concluded three-match series against Bangladesh. Samson is now gearing up for the upcoming series against the defending T20I World Champions and is working hard to get himself into the best possible shape for the upcoming rubber. Samson took to Twitter where he posted a video of him sweating it out in the gym which he captioned as, Work harder and harder & become stronger and stronger”

Samson’s exclusion from the national squad had created a huge uproar with fans as well as prominent public figures like Shashi Tharoor. Tharoor had then taken to Twitter where he lashed out on the selection committee where he said, Tharoor took to Twitter to vent his displeasure at Samson’s exclusion where he wrote, “Very disappointed to see @IamSanjuSamson dropped without a chance. He carried the drinks for three T20Is & has been promptly discarded. Are they testing his batting or his heart?”
