Team India has won the T20 series against New Zealand by winning the first three matches. However, despite this, one name continues to be in the news – Sanju Samson. Wicketkeeper batsman Sanju has not been able to score runs in this series so far and that is why questions are being raised about his place. Especially after the possible return of Tilak Verma, the debate has become more intense as to who will be out of the playing eleven. Now Ajinkya Rahane has also presented his side in this matter.
Trust in Sanju despite bad form
After failing in three consecutive T20 matches, pressure usually increases on any player, but in the case of Sanju Samson, the story is a little different. He is getting support from within and outside the team. Former Indian captain Ajinkya Rahane has clearly said that a player like Sanju should not be judged on the basis of just a few matches. He believes that failure in T20 cricket is common and it does not diminish the player’s ability.
Rahane’s opinion: Sanju should get a chance
According to Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson is a match-winning player and such players are needed in the big tournament of T20 World Cup. He said that the management should maintain confidence in Sanju, because confidence is the biggest strength of a batsman. Rahane believes that if Sanju has confidence in himself and plays without pressure, then big runs will definitely come.
Is danger looming on Ishan Kishan?
Talking about playing eleven, Rahane’s choice is clear. According to him, after the return of Tilak Verma, Ishan Kishan may have to sit out. He said that Sanju should be given some more time to get into rhythm. Rahane also says that after playing the initial overs carefully, Sanju can return to his natural game. In such a situation, it is important for them to get continuous opportunities.
Next match will be decisive
India’s next T20 match is to be played on January 28 in Visakhapatnam and this match is considered very important for Sanju Samson. If he plays a good innings in this match, his place in the playing eleven will be strengthened. However, if the runs do not come again, then the team management may have to take a difficult decision, because the T20 World Cup is near and the team will not want to take any kind of risk.
