Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif claimed that Sanju Samson has been dropped from the T20 team. Kaif’s words seem to be proving true, because after the fourth match, he did not get a chance even in the fifth T20 (IND vs AUS 5th T20) match against Australia. Actually, in the third T20 match played in Melbourne, Samson was given a chance at number-3, but he was out after scoring only 2 runs. Since then, speculations were being made that Samson might be dropped from the T20 team.

Sanju Samson was performing very well as an opener, but after Shubman Gill’s return to the team, Samson’s batting order has changed repeatedly. As an opener, Samson also scored three centuries in T20.

Samson was opening the Bangladesh series last year. After that he scored 417 runs in 12 innings, during which he also scored 3 centuries with his bat. When he got a chance at number-3 against Oman in the Asia Cup, he played an inning of 56 runs. After that, his batting order was changed and he was sent to number five, after which his rhythm appeared to be deteriorating. Samson has not been in the Test and ODI team for a long time, so being out of the T20 team would be like the end of his career.

What did captain Suryakumar Yadav say on the batting line-up?

At the time of toss in the fifth T20 match played in Brisbane, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said, “All the batsmen have to understand that this is not a 200-run pitch. Everything went well for us in the last match and winning a bilateral series is always a good experience. It also has to be kept in mind that you want to go with a good combination. This is a format where apart from the opening batsmen, all the players will have to show flexibility in the batting position.”

After the declaration of the Indian squad, how will Team India’s batting line-up be in the ‘Asia Cup’, this ‘topic’ has been fiercely debated. For the last one year, the T20 team was playing without Shubman Gill, but due to the sudden arrival of Gill for the Asia Cup, the batting line-up is sure to make up. Meanwhile, a very big hint has been found that Sanju Samson can be seen batting in the middle order in the Asia Cup. Actually this case is related to the Kerala Cricket League, in which Samson is playing for Kochi Blue Tigers.

Sanju Samson will not open in Asia Cup!

Samson has been opening for the Indian T20 team, but in a single match of the Kerala Cricket League, he has not yet opened. On Saturday, he was seen batting in the sixth order in the match against Elippi Reples. He came to bat on number-6, but could score only 13 runs in 22 balls.

There are speculations about the Asia Cup that Shubman Gill may open. In such a situation, Samson’s shift to the middle order just before the tournament can be said that they may have to leave their salute batting batting order due to Gill.

Sanju Samson has an equal experience of batting on sixth or lower order in international T20 cricket. At the same time, in the IPL too, he has batting very less on the lower order from number-4. If his batting order changes in the Asia Cup, it will be a big blow for Samson, because as an opener he scored 3 centuries within five innings for Team India.
