Sanju Samson: After the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024, the star player of the Indian team hitman Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the T20 International. It was under his captaincy that India won the ICC title and this match also proved to be his last match in this format. However, he will continue to play the IPL for now. Meanwhile, the search was on for an aggressive batsman like Rohit Sharma. Although many players were making their own claims for this, but Sanju Samson has added his name to this list by scoring two back to back centuries.
Sanju Samson has scored two back-to-back centuries while opening for India in T20 Internationals. No Indian batsman could achieve this feat before him. Although Sanju Samson’s place in Team India is not certain, but now his claim is getting stronger after the way he is performing. Meanwhile, there are many other players to replace Rohit. In which Yashaswi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma can be mentioned as the main ones. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma is getting out early after scoring just one century. This can increase difficulties for them.
With Abhishek Sharma’s bat constantly flopping, his woes may increase
Team India still has to play two more T20 series matches against South Africa. It is hoped that Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson will open in this too. If Abhishek Sharma does not bat in either of the remaining two matches, he may be out of the squad. With so many contenders for the opening slot, it won’t take long to get kicked out of the team after consecutive flops. On the other hand, if we talk about Sanju, he has done his job. If his bat continues to work in the remaining two matches, it will be almost impossible to drop him from the team. Apart from this, he will also be a strong contender for the opening.
It can be assumed that Yashwi Jaiswal will definitely be the opener, if Sanju takes the place of the other opener then it will be very difficult for Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaekwad to make a comeback. Along with this, India will also get a right-handed and left-handed combination. However, after the remaining two matches, Sanju will also be tested in the IPL, where he will be seen playing for his old team Rajasthan Royals. Even there, if he opens up and goes, his position will be strengthened. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the remaining two matches against South Africa, where along with Abhishek, Sanju’s performance will be watched very seriously.
