Despite making his international debut nine years ago in 2015, India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has not been able to permanently cement his place in the Indian cricket team. With the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game, new head coach Gautam Gambhir and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav have decided to give Samson a chance as an opening batsman in the T20I series against Bangladesh.
Samson opened the innings with Abhishek Sharma in the first match of the series at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Samson displayed his timing and technique and scored 29 runs in 19 balls but could not make much impact and was out without finishing the match. meanwhile Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra, while stressing on the upcoming matches, warned that if Samson does not perform well, he could be dropped.
Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Sanju Samson
During a conversation on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that it is important to talk about Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma was playing brilliantly until he was run out. But how much better Sanju Samson played. Gautam Gambhir had said long ago that if Sanju Samson does not play for India then it is a loss for the team.
Gautam Gambhir made him open. He looked good and scored 29 runs. What I am saying is that when he had scored so many runs, he should have gone further. If he does not do this then he will be dropped. He was constantly in and out of the team.
Let us tell you that Sanju Samson may get a chance to open in the next two matches and there he will have to try to play big innings. If he performs well in the upcoming matches, he will get a chance in the upcoming series.
