Samson is not the only person that Idealizes the former India captain as many other fans also have a huge respect for him. While Dhoni has won everything at the world stage, Samson too would have joined him with an accolade of his own had he won the IPL 2022.

Samson will aspire to get back in contention for the Indian team having been a hit and miss since his return to the side. The Kerala-born superstar did get runs under his belt against Ireland and West Indies but has often shot himself in the foot, failing to make the best out of his abilities.
The right-hander’s ability to score quick runs and his versatility makes him one of the more senior players on the Zimbabwe tour. Samson did make his debut against the same opposition seven years ago, and will hope that he can turn his international career around on his return to Harare.
