Sanju Samson continued his poor form in the third T20I against Sri Lanka.
After being benched in the first contest, he replaced Shubman Gill in the second. The right-handed batter was dismissed for a golden duck.
Team management including Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav gave him another chance in the third and final game.
However, the result was the same as the wicket-keeper batter went back without troubling the scorers after facing four deliveries. Samson has registered three ducks in just 11 innings as a keeper.
He is behind Rishabh Pant, who heads the list with four ducks in 54 innings.

Sanju played a few games in the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe and showed his class, but he fell short against Sri Lanka.
