This player has a golden chance in the South Africa series, if he bats then he bats.
Sanju Samson: The next mission of Team India is going to start now. The four-match T20 series between India and South Africa is going to start from November 8. In this series, once again the command of the Indian team is going to be in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav. Meanwhile, young and new players will have a chance to perform better and cement their place in Team India. But this task will not be so easy, because South Africa’s team is also very strong. In this series, all eyes are going to be on Sanju Samson, who can be seen opening the Indian innings in this series also.
Sanju Samman scored his first T20 International century against Bangladesh
Sanju Samson has played 33 T20 International matches for India so far. But even after this, his place in Team India cannot be said to be confirmed yet. Right now a team has gone there for a series against Australia, so Sanju has got the responsibility of opening, otherwise it is not known whether he would have been in the team or not. If we talk about opening, then out of the total 33 T20 matches played for India, he has opened for the Indian team eight times. Before the century he scored in the last T20 match against Bangladesh, his numbers in the opening have not been very good. But his brilliance was visible when he scored a blistering 111 runs in 47 balls against Bangladesh.
Sanju will open with Abhishek Sharma against South Africa
Now in the team that has been selected for the South Africa series, apart from Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson is the only batsman who can open the innings. In such a situation, it should be assumed that he will be seen opening in all the 4 matches of the series. This will be a golden chance for Sanju Samson, which he will have to capitalize on at any cost. He will have to play a century in at least one out of four matches. Only then will they come into everyone’s sight. If we talk about this year’s IPL for Sanju Samson, he scored 531 runs in a total of 16 matches while captaining his team Rajasthan Royals. While his average is more than 48, but apart from this one century for the Indian team, the rest of the numbers are not very good.
Sanju Samson can fill the vacant place of Rohit Sharma
Sanju Samson has played a total of 9 T20 International matches for the Indian team this year. While batting in its eight innings, Sanju Samson did not even open his account thrice. He has managed to score one century and one half-century. But the kind of performance required to get permanent entry in Team India is yet to come from Sanju. The special thing is that after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20 International cricket, there is no certainty yet as to who will do the permanent opening for the Indian team in this format. Many players are contenders for this. Apart from Shubhman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma, there is also a name of Sanju Samson. Now Sanju has a better opportunity, which he would definitely like to grab.
