“The captain and coach asked me to play red ball cricket…”- Sanju Samson’s big revelation
Sanju Samson & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Sanju Samson revealed that Team India’s leadership group has asked him to play more Ranji Trophy matches as they are looking to try him in the Test format. Samson, who made his white-ball debut for India in 2015, has not played a single Test yet. Samson scored 3819 runs in 64 first class matches at an average of 38.96, which included 11 centuries. Samson recently attracted the attention of fans and selectors by scoring a century in the Duleep Trophy match. A few days ago, Sanju Samson scored a century in 40 balls in a T20 International match and saved his sinking T20 career. He has played T20 and ODI cricket for India. After performing well on a few occasions for the ODI and T20 team, Sanju Samson is now eyeing to play Test cricket. Before Duleep Trophy 2024, the leadership group of Team India has told him that he should play as many first class matches as possible. The leadership group includes captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir. I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket- Sanju Samson Speaking to Sportstar, Samson said, “I believe I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket and I don’t want to limit myself to just white ball cricket. My desire is to play test cricket for India. Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red-ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play as many Ranji Trophy matches as possible.” Samson further said about this, “This time my preparation was good. After the series against Sri Lanka, I trained with Rahul Dravid sir and Zubin Bharucha at the RR Academy and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence because it came against some of the best bowlers in the country.” Samson has scored centuries for India in ODI and T20 International cricket. At present, Rishabh Pant is with the team as a wicketkeeper batsman, but now Sanju Samson can also be considered in the future. He has consistently performed well in the IPL but has not been able to capitalize on his opportunities in international cricket.

Due to injury, Mohammed Shami has been away from cricket for several months. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: When BCCI announced Team India for the three-Test series against New Zealand, four reserve players were included in the squad, which everyone was surprised to see. Three out of those four were fast bowlers. No one understood why three fast bowlers were kept in the team as reserve players. Along with Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav and Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Reddy has also been selected as reserve for the ongoing three-match Test series against New Zealand and they will travel with the team and will also be seen practicing with the players. Now captain Rohit Sharma has given a long term plan regarding this and said that the team has a strong group of batsmen and he wants to create a similar group in fast bowling also. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding traveling reserve players Captain Rohit said in the press conference before the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, “There are a lot of options when it comes to batting. We want to do the same in bowling also. We want to build bench strength where if anything happens to anyone tomorrow, we don’t have to worry. The captain further said, “We want to keep Mayank, Harshit and Nitish with us, because we are thinking of taking them to Australia, we want to build bench strength, especially with fast bowlers. We have 8 or 9 options, not just 3 or 4. Like batting, we want more options in bowling also.” “We don’t want to be too dependent on a few players,” he added. It is not right to do this. Looking at the future, we want to try to ensure that we get the right players.” This is why India has fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna for the three Test matches against New Zealand. Present as a reserve player for the series. Rohit said, “Tomorrow if we feel that he is ready to play that role (in place of the injured fast bowler) then he should be ready for it. Of course he played some matches before our announcement.

“If Rohit is bought a franchise, then consider Rs 20 crore for him” – Ashwin’s surprising statement.
Rohit And Ashwin (Image Credit- Instagram) The time of mega auction for IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025 is getting closer. Many big players can participate in this auction. Last year, Mumbai Indians had replaced Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as their captain, seeing this, it is believed that this time Rohit may go in the mega auction. In 2024, Hardik Pandya was made the captain by replacing Rohit Sharma. Amidst all this, it is also being claimed in some reports that, if Rohit comes in the auction, then Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) can bid for him. Will RCB be able to buy Rohit Sharma? On this, Indian team off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that this would not be the right option for the franchise because Rohit will be sold at a very high price and there is little possibility of the franchise having much money. R Ashwin made a surprising claim about Rohit Sharma While talking on his YouTube channel, Ravi Ashwin, while answering a fan’s question, said that if Rohit is bought a franchise, then consider Rs 20 crore for him. He said, “If you are going for Rohit Sharma then you will have to keep Rs 20 crores. 20 crores went missing there.” RCB franchise already has a player like Virat Kohli, whom it will definitely retain at any cost. To retain Virat, the team will have to pay a maximum of Rs 18 crores. However, if Rohit comes in the auction, he will also have to fight with other teams and in such a situation, Rohit’s price will skyrocket. To buy Rohit, any franchise will have to spend Rs 20 crore or more. Captain Rohit Sharma, who led the Indian team to the T20 World Cup, has been in Mumbai Indians since 2011. He had captained the team since 2013 and had led the team to the title in the very first season. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Mumbai has won the title five times. Last year, when the team made Pandya the captain, Rohit was unhappy with it. There were also reports of rift between Pandya and Rohit in the team.

“Indian team is thinking of taking him for BGT” – former veteran cricketer said about Mayank Yadav
The batsmen dominated the recently concluded T20I series between India and Bangladesh. In this entire series, Indian batsmen scored a lot of runs against Bangladeshi bowlers.

This decision of the team management proved to be right in the end. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Mayank Yadav In a video on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “When we are talking about the quest of this series, we need to talk about Mayank Yadav. He has been fast tracked. He has hardly played any first class matches and came straight into the Indian team. He had recently returned from injury. He didn’t play any competitive cricket and suddenly he was playing for India.” The former batsman further said, “That is definitely one of the big positives because he is also part of the traveling reserves. I think the Indian team is thinking of taking him for BGT, at least to keep him with the team. However, I think it might be a bit early because the exposure to first-class cricket hasn’t come yet, sometimes, you go with your gut and say let’s try because that can make a difference.” Talking about his performance in all three matches, Aakash Chopra said that he was happy that Mayank not only bowled in all the matches but he was also bowled with a brand new ball in the third T20I compared to the second and fourth T20Is. It was done, which was a good thing for him.
