There are less than 2 months left for the start of T20 World Cup 2026, but the problem of the batting line-up of the Indian team has not been solved. On one hand, due to the exclusion of Rinku Singh, the role of finisher within the team has become a matter of concern. In the first T20 match against South Africa in Cuttack, Jitesh Sharma was given the responsibility of wicketkeeper, while Sanju Samson, who was playing the role of wicketkeeper in the T20 team for 2 years, had to sit out.

This fact is not hidden from anyone that after the arrival of Gautam Gambhir, there has been a glut of all-rounder players in the middle order. In such a situation, only one slot remains vacant, on which a wicketkeeper or a finisher can be brought. It is very important to have a wicketkeeper in the team, but when Samson was ignored in Cuttack and Jitesh Sharma was played, many people were shocked. Jitesh Sharma himself has given a statement on this subject.

Samson like my big brother

Jitesh Sharma said in the post-match conference after the first T20 match, “To be honest, he is like an elder brother to me. Having more competition brings out your talent. It is also good for the team. There is a lot of talent in the team, you can also feel it.”

Jitesh Sharma further said, “Sanju bhaiya is a great player. I will have to compete with him, if that happens, I will have to give my best. We both are trying to play for Team India. We are like brothers. We have played a lot of cricket together and help me a lot. If I have to compete with him, play shoulder to shoulder, then I will have to show my A game.”
