Half-century in 45 balls with a four and four sixes: Will Gambhir consider Sanju Samson for Kohli’s vacant spot? – SPORTS – GENERAL

HARARE: “Sanju Samson is not only the best wicketkeeper and batsman in India but also the best young batsman in India! If Sanju Samson does not play for India, it will be India’s loss.” These are the words of the Indian cricket team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir. Fans of the star, including the Malayalees, are hoping that Sanju gets more opportunities when Gambhir takes over as the head coach.

Gautam Gambhir will take charge of the Indian team when they tour Sri Lanka this month. India will play three T20 and ODI matches each in Sri Lanka. Senior players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah may not play in this series. Both Rohit and Kohli have retired from Twenty20 cricket. Everyone is watching whether Gambhir will consider replacing Kohli at the number three position.

Gambhir’s decision is crucial for the future of a handful of players. Gambhir’s stated policy is to use the right players for each format. If that is the case, Gambhir might not give a chance to some of the players who are currently playing in the team, including during the Zimbabwe tour. In the final match against Zimbabwe, Sanju scored a half-century and became the team’s top scorer. The player put in a good batting performance when the team was struggling at three for 40.

Sanju hit a half-century in 45 balls with a four and four sixes. It is also worth noting that the player bowled brilliantly on a pitch that is not easy to hit. In any case, fans are hoping that Sanju will be considered by Gambhir because of his natural talent, which he did not get from previous coaches.
