In the T20 series against New Zealand, Team India has performed brilliantly and taken an unassailable lead of 3-0. However, amidst this success, the troubles of one player are continuously increasing. This series was a big opportunity for wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson to prove himself, which now seems to be slipping from his hands. Due to continuous failure before the World Cup, it is not looking easy for Sanju to remain in the playing-11, especially when the discussions about Tilak Verma’s return have intensified.
Continuous poor performance increases concern
Sanju Samson was given continuous opportunities in the New Zealand series, but he could not live up to them. In the first T20, he could score only 10 runs, in the second match his bat stopped at just 6 runs and in the third match he could not even open the account. This kind of performance in three matches has ruined the plans of the team management. Just before a big tournament, the team would not like to trust a player who has failed to score runs consistently.
Tilak Verma’s fitness changed the atmosphere
Young batsman Tilak Verma has been out of the team for some time due to injury, but according to reports, he can return soon after getting fit. It is believed that he can join the team before the last match of the series or the World Cup. Tilak’s return will strengthen the Indian batting order and the team will get a reliable option in the middle order.
Ishan Kishan’s form also increased Sanju’s problems
Ishan Kishan, who was included in the team in the absence of Tilak, has impressed everyone with his performance. Ishaan has taken full advantage of the opportunity by batting aggressively. In such a situation, it will not be an easy decision for the management to oust him. As per the strategy, Ishaan can be given the responsibility of opening, while Tilak Verma can be seen batting at number three or four.
Sanju may be out of playing-11
In this changed equation, there does not seem to be a place for Sanju Samson in the playing-11. This series was an opportunity for him to prove himself as the first choice, but he could not capitalize on it.
