Sanju Samson And The Curious Art Of Finding His Place In Indian Cricket, Again
Sanju Samson’s career has been a cycle of promise, doubt and redemption, caught between belonging to Indian cricket and having to prove he belongs.
Sanju Samson could very well have been a character in a F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, someone who spent years standing close enough to the centre of the room to feel its warmth, yet never quite far enough from the door to forget that he could be asked to leave.
Fitzgerald once wrote of his character Nick Carraway as being “within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life." In The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is both participant and observer, drawn towards the world around him even as some part of him remains apart from it.
