Sanju Samson's Father Alleges MS Dhoni And Virat Kohli 'Destroyed 10 Years Of My Son's Life'

Vishwanath Samson, father of Indian cricketer Sanju Samson, has openly expressed his frustration with the top Indian cricketers. In an interview with Kerala-based Media One, Vishwanath alleged that MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli , Rohit Sharma, and Rahul Dravid, hindered Sanju’s career progression by denying him consistent opportunities on the international stage. According to Vishwanath, this lack of support has effectively cost his son 10 years in the sport, India Today reported.

A post shared by Team India (@indiancricketteam) The young Samson, currently in South Africa for a four-match T20I series, showcased his talent by hitting a century in the opening game. Vishwanath believes that his son’s struggles could have been mitigated with greater encouragement and sustained opportunities, particularly from India’s past and present cricketing leadership. Vishwanath did not hold back when addressing his grievances, directly calling out former and current captains, as well as former head coach Rahul Dravid.



"They destroyed 10 years of my son’s life," he reportedly remarked. "The more they hurt him, the stronger Sanju came out of the crisis," he added, admiring how his son overcame the hurdles. A post shared by Team India (@indiancricketteam) ALSO SEE: ‘MS Dhoni Should’ve Been Banned.

Samson is currently playing T20 cricket against South Africa and scored a century in the first game on November 8. His 107 runs in 50 deliveries propelled India to a massive score of 202, and the team scored an easy win by 61 runs.

According to the BCCI , Samson has played 16 ODI games and has scored one century and three half centuries in 14 innings. In T20 Internationals, he has planed 32 innings in 36 matches and scored two centuries and two half centuries.
