He also got a chance to open in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa and Sanju maintained his form and scored a century in the first match. Now former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik feels that Samson has confirmed his opening place. He said that Samson has made a lot of technical changes in his batting style and in future he should open with Jaiswal. Samson has cemented his place as an opening batsman – Dinesh Karthik Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, I think he (Samson) has cemented his place as an opening batsman. Yashasvi Jaiswal and he will remain an opening batsman in the T20 format for at least some time. He has made many technical changes, especially to suit this format. He focused a lot on hitting sixes. He further added that, against Keshav Maharaj, he stepped out but missed the length of the ball. Maharaj beat him in the air, but Sanju held his position and waited for the shot and hit it over cover. He is a guy who doesn’t panic even if he misses the length and grabs that extra second. It’s a very difficult skill, but he does it very well. This is what makes them very special.

IPL 2025: “Even if we can’t take Siraj, there is no problem…”, Aakash Chopra said about RCB’s plans in the auction.
Aakash Chopra says that RCB will have to pay more attention to building a strong bowling unit in the auction. Mohammad Siraj & Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: The IPL 2025 mega auction will take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Royal Challengers Bangalore have retained Virat Kohli (21 crore), Rajat Patidar (11 crore) and Yash Dayal (5 crore) before this auction. The franchise has released big players like Faf du Plessis, Mohammed Siraj, Glenn Maxwell, Will Jacques and Cameron Green. Meanwhile, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra says that RCB will have to focus more on building a strong bowling unit in the auction. Even if the team is not able to buy back Mohammad Siraj, it will not make much difference. Weak bowling is the big problem of RCB Aakash Chopra said that the reason behind Royal Challengers Bangalore not winning a single trophy is bowling. Therefore, to build a strong bowling attack, the team will have to buy good players in the auction. He also said that the franchise also needs at least one good spinner. While talking in the video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, I have to prepare a good bowling attack. For this, even if I can’t bring Siraj, I won’t have any problem, but you have to find out where you can find good bowlers. Can you buy Kagiso Rabada because you have the money? “Can you buy Mitchell Starc because you have the money?” Can you find Mark Wood because you have money? Spend money and buy bowlers because the main problem behind ‘Ee Saala Cup Namde’ becoming ‘Ee Saal Bhi Cup Rahe De’ is bowling. For this you need at least one quality Indian spinner, if it becomes two then great, and you need to have good fast bowling options. Mohammed Siraj took 15 wickets in 14 innings at an economy of 9.18 for Royal Challengers Bangalore last season. Mark Wood did not play last season. At the same time, Kagiso Rabada and Mitchell Starc have been released by their franchises. Aakash Chopra stressed that Royal Challengers Bangalore must target Yuzvendra Chahal in the mega auction. Let us tell you, Chahal has taken 139 wickets for RCB in 112 innings at an economy of 7.58, he is the highest wicket taker for the franchise.
