The sun beat down on the ACA-VDCA stadium at Vizag as Sanju Samson strode out for what could be described as the most scrutinized net session of his career. With head coach Gautam Gambhir positioned behind the stumps at the bowler’s end, eyes locked on every movement, every shot, every twitch of hesitation, the wicketkeeper-batsman knew the weight of expectation resting on his shoulders. For the next 20-odd minutes on the eve of the fourth T20I against New Zealand, Samson faced the full arsenal – Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and three throw-down specialists. The coaching staff watched intently as he went aerial, creamed drives through covers, and produced one particularly eye-catching scoop over point off a fuller delivery from Arshdeep. Bar one no-look swipe that took the top edge, he looked every bit the elegant stroke-maker who has bewitched Indian cricket with glimpses of brilliance. Yet one telling detail betrayed the purpose of this session. Time and again, as short balls were directed at his body, Samson appeared unconvincing with the pull shot, …
