3 Indian players for whom Sanju Samson can become a big threat in the T20 team, Rishabh Pant's cutage?

 

Sanju Samson big threat for these 3 players in Indian T20I Team: Sanju Samson is considered one of the most talented players in India. Because of this, whenever he doesn't get a chance, the fans vent their anger on the selectors as well as the captain and coach. However, in the absence of regular players in the T20 series against Bangladesh, Sanju got a chance and he took advantage of it in Hyderabad. In the first two matches of the series, there was no performance from his bat, but in the third match, he created havoc and scored his first T20 century for India.

Sanju Samson produced a storming batting spectacle at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and scored a century off just 40 balls, which is also the second fastest century by any batsman from Team India in this format. Sanju faced 47 balls in his innings and scored 111 runs thanks to 11 fours and eight sixes. Captain Suryakumar Yadav was also impressed by this player, while Gautam Gambhir has praised him a lot even before he became the head coach. In this case, now that Samson has performed well, he can become a threat to some players. In this article we are going to mention only them.

3. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma, the explosive opener who wreaked havoc in IPL 2024, started his T20 international career in Zimbabwe and scored a century in the second match. However, he did not perform well after that and disappointed in the series against Bangladesh as well. Abhishek scored only 35 runs in three innings. In this case, regular opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will have only one spot left and for this Sanju Samson has strongly submitted his claim.

2. Shubman Gill

Sanju Samson's excellent performance can also become a big headache for Shubman Gill. Gill has recently started getting a regular place in the Indian T20 team and he also starts the innings. However, Sanju may prove to be a more aggressive opening option and Team India may overlook Gill due to Samson's approach.

1. Rishabh Pant

Many people may be surprised to see the name of Rishabh Pant in this list, but the performance of this player in T20 International has not been anything special so far. Pant has done well in other formats but has yet to do justice to his talent in T20s for India. In this case, Sanju Samson's good performance can become a big problem for him. Pant will not be there in the upcoming T20 series against South Africa and if Samson does well then the team management can definitely consider giving him a place in the T20 team on a regular basis. Along with stormy batting, Sanju also keeps wickets, due to which he can be a big threat for Pant.
