Let us know these reasons
Indian cricket team’s experienced wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has not got a chance to play consistently for Team India. Since his T20 debut in 2015, he has been able to play only 28 T20 and 16 ODI matches for Team India in 9 years.
He was selected in the Indian team that won the recently concluded ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, but he did not get a chance to play a single match. But now the time has come that he should get a chance to play T20 cricket consistently for Team India.
It is worth noting that after the T20 World Cup, captain Rohit Sharma, former captain Virat Kohli and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja have decided to say goodbye to the game. So after the departure of these 3 players, Sanju can play an important role in batting in the middle order.
1. Rishabh Pant has more chances than Sanju
Let us tell you that at present Rishabh Pant is the first choice wicketkeeper of the Indian cricket team management in all three formats. So when he had a car accident, it was expected that Sanju Samson would be selected in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024, but after a strong comeback in IPL 2024, he was once again successful in winning the trust of the selectors.
However, when it comes to the Indian team, Pant has a lot of opportunities to prove himself in the shortest format of the game, but that is not the case with Sanju as compared to him. Pant has played a total of 74 T20 matches for Team India so far, in which he has scored just 1158 runs at an average of 22.70 and a strike rate of 126.55.
Pant made his debut three years after Sanju’s debut, but then he got more opportunities. But at this time the Indian management may look towards Pant in Tests and ODIs and Sanju in T20 cricket.
