India, Sept. 24 -- Right-handed batter Sanju Samson has a new role to deal with, and it's safe to say that he has not set the stage on fire while batting at No.5 in the 2025 Asia Cup. The 30-year-old might have scored a half-century against Oman in the group stage; however, his performance in the Super 4s game against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium left much to be desired. Sanju scored 13 runs off 17 balls, and his innings was cut short by Haris Rauf.

Ahead of the Super 4s match against Bangladesh, Team India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate admitted that Sanju is still getting used to his new role; however, he was quick to point out that the management fully believes in his abilities.
