IPL 2020: Days after criticizing Chennai Super Kings Captain MS Dhoni over his decision to come rather late in the batting order, former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir once again upped the ante against MSD as he expressed his disagreement with veteran Congress leader Shashi Tharoor who compared Samson to Dhoni. Lauding Sanju Samson, who set up a thrilling four-wicket win for Rajasthan Royals against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday night, Gambhir said: “Sanju Samson doesn’t need to be next anyone. He will be ‘the’ Sanju Samson of Indian Cricket.” Also Read: Best Save I Have Seen In My Life: Sachin Tendulkar Lauds Nicholas Pooran's Acrobatic Six Saving Effort At The Boundary Gambhir was responding to Shashi Tharoor’s remark comparing Samson to Dhoni. “What an absolutely incredible win for Rajasthan  Royals  ! I’ve known Sanju Samson for a decade & told him when he was 14 that he would one day be the next MS Dhoni. Well, that day is here. After his two amazing innings in this IPL you know a world class player has arrived,” Tharoor tweeted. Sreesanth too expressed his disagreement with Tharoor and said that he is not next Dhoni .,he is Sanju Samson, ‘the one and only.’ “He should have been playing from 2015 regularly in all formats.pls don’t compare him,if he had given right opportunities then ,he would have been playing like this for india and would have won world cups ..” Sreesanth added. Gambhir had strongly criticized CSK skipper MS Dhoni's decision to come rather late in the batting order during his team's  September 22 clash against Rajasthan Royals which the 3-time champs eventually lost by 16 runs at the Sharjah Cricket Ground. In the match Sanju Samson showed with his performance, why he deserves a place in Team India. The youngster slammed a 85 from 42 balls that helped Rajasthan Royals seal a scintillating win against Kings XI Punjab, chasing a stiff target of 224.
