The Sanju Samson saga is a case study of this syndrome. This talented boy was the (1) of Kerala cricket. When he attended the KKR trials in 2009 at the age of 14, he made a lasting (2) on everyone. He received all the love and (3) .
But post his selection for the IPL team, his change in approach has been observed by those close to him. He has just not been receptive to the requirements of the team. For the past two years he has not been himself and coaches have (4) to control him.
His brilliant performances are often followed by a lull. This year, he scored a hundred in the opening match but failed in others. He was (5) to have been different in the dressing room too.Sanju Samson is not the only player who is affected by a ‘celebrity syndrome’. There are many. To them, IPL is the goal of life.

There is a school of thought to which some former Indian international players believe in: “There is a need to understand such kids and mentor them. What we consider as indiscipline, is actually an act of frustration for not performing specially post-playing for India-A. Sanju hasn’t been performing and that must be a worry for him because he is playing for India-A. That’s just a step away from playing for the country! We need more (10) and fewer coaches who ‘discipline’ the boys.”
