Thiruvananthapuram – Kerala cricket team coach Tinu Yohannan said captain Sanju Samson’s lack of play also contributed to Kerala’s poor performances in the Ranji Trophy. “We knew that the conditions in Puducherry were not favorable at all. To win against Puducherry, he had to play his best cricket. In that situation, it was a big challenge to throw them out twice. ” – Tinu Yohannan told sports media.
Not playing Sanju Samson after the first three games is a big loss for the team. Having Sanju Samson as captain made a big difference in the game. Sanju made a big difference in decision making and using the bowling unit. After Sanju’s departure, we lost all that.” – said Tinu Yohannan.
