Vishwanath Samson, father of Indian wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, recently made serious allegations against prominent figures in Indian cricket, including MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Rahul Dravid. He accused them of holding back his son’s career by not providing consistent international opportunities over the last decade.
In an interview with Kerala-based news outlet Media One, Vishwanath expressed frustration, stating that their decisions cost Sanju "10 precious years." He praised his son's resilience, noting that each setback has only made him stronger.
He also criticized former cricketer Kris Srikkanth for dismissive remarks about Sanju’s century against Bangladesh, saying that a century should be respected regardless of the opponent.
Though Sanju Samson has largely stayed away from controversies, his father’s remarks have ignited social media debate. Meanwhile, Sanju continues to perform on the international stage, showcasing his skill and determination.
