There is only one team for the T20 series and T20 World Cup starting from February 21, which also includes wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. Due to the absence of Shubman Gill, the possibility has increased that he will open the innings in the tournament, for which he is also working hard. One of his videos is going viral, in which Yuvraj Singh is seen giving him batting tips.

Yuvraj Singh played many memorable and brilliant innings as a cricketer. In the first edition of the T20 World Cup, he had made a record of hitting 6 sixes in an over. Now he has made his own identity as a mentor to young cricketers. Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma are also his disciples, who are now making waves for Team India. Now Sanju Samson has reached him.

Sanju Samson was seen in the role of opener in the last several matches, but with the arrival of Shubman Gill, there was a change in his order again.

Meanwhile, the viral video of him and Yuvraj Singh is saying a lot. Sanju wants to capitalize on this opportunity, wants to make it memorable. Maybe that’s why he is taking batting tips from Yuvraj Singh.
