New Delhi:
Now that the ongoing T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024) group stage is over for Team India, all eyes have turned to the Super-8 round. India will begin their campaign against Afghanistan (Ind vs Afg) in the Super Round on Thursday. There is still a lot of time left in the match, but thoughts and advice from veterans and former cricketers have started pouring in.
Now former fast bowler Sreesanth has advocated for Sanju Samson’s place in the XI, but former fast bowler Sanju has been advocated not for Pant, but for Shivam Dubey. To emphasize his point, Sri cites the argument that if Shivam Dubey is not bowling, it is better to make Samson part of the eleven. In fact, Sanju should be given a place as a finisher.
Sreesanth said that if Rohit and Virat Kohli are opening the innings, I don’t see any change in the XI. Akshar Patel is bowling well. If you look at Shivam Dubey, he didn’t play in the first two matches, but we all know what he can do with the bat. But I want to see Sanju Samson playing in the XI.
The former pacer said that Sanju should get a chance in the XI if Dube doesn’t bowl. We know how good Sanju is. I spoke to Samson. And he is very eager to get the opportunity. However, despite Sanju playing at number three in the IPL, Sreesanth said he should be in the eleven as a finisher. Sri said that Sanju will eventually join Hardik, Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja. If we chase the target, he can play a big innings. Besides we all know what a great chase master Virat is. I don’t think any target is difficult for us.
