No Sanju Samson in India Squad for Asia Cup? Gill & Jaiswal is higher in the hierarchical order, explains Dasgutta
Samson only scored 51 points in his last 5 T20i games and has fought against high -end quick quasses.
It is time for another T20 multinational event and the debate on Sanju Samson is back. When Gautam Gambhir took over the reins of India head coach, Sanju Samson seemed to have received a new breath. But no more now. After missing half of the 2025 IPL with an injury, there is a question mark in its place in the Indian team for the Asian Cup 2025. The reason? Others did better than him in IPL. The old package of India Deep Dasgupta is in the camp who thinks it will be difficult to put Samson in the mixture for Asia Cup 2025.
The ticket office scored the most points for India in T20is since Gautam Gambhir took over as a head coach from India. Samson scored 487 points in 16 rounds with an average of 34.78 and a strike rate of 171.47, including three centuries. But against a strong team from England, Samson struck Rock Bottom, marking only 51 points in five rounds, including three scores with a figure.
“Sanju Samson has succeeded. But he fought against a team from England full resistance to home. It was the only series under Surya where India played an international international team”, ” Deep Dasgupta, the cricket player who became commentary, told Times of India.
Shubman Gill on Yashasvi Jaiswal
While Samson struggled to injure himself in IPL 2025, Gill took his chance and prospered for Gujarat titans, Gill scored 650 points in 15 heats to an average of 50.00 and a strike rate of 155.88. As he is in the running for the vice-captain T20i, Gill will be ahead in the hierarchical order of the Asian Cup 2025.
Another fact that works in favor of Gill is his consistency, unlike Samson. Despite three centuries, Samson also had four ducks and as many scores with a 16 -round figure. Deep Dasgupta thinks that Gill can play the role to which Virat Kohli used, taking the deep sleeves in high pressure tournaments.
“”Gill can play the role of Kohli who can take the deep sleeves in high pressure tournaments. He has IPL performances to support him. On slower water to water, you have to have this kind of player, ” Dasgupta told you.

The dilemma of Sanju Samson
Although Samson has largely paid the confidence that Gambir has shown in him, there is always the question of consistency. Samson also fought against Spin in Sri Lanka on low and slow surfaces. He was dismissed for two consecutive ducks in Sri Lanka. He also had a hot time against fast quisors like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood.
However, Abhishek Sharma has no similar problems. In fact, he prospered against Pacers, as well as spinners. While Abhishek was also incoherent, Deep Dasgupta thinks that Abhishek can kill the game by himself with his blows.
“Abhishek Sharma must start as a first game because he can kill a game when he arrives. DASGUPTA added.
If India looks at Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma in the middle order with Captain Suryakumar Yadav, Gambhir will have to opt for a counter carrier at n ° 7, Jiteh Sharma could adapt to this bill. This will effectively govern Samson. India has a higher overcrowded order and Samson will have to fight a lot to exercise a complaint.
