Asia Cup: “Sanju Samson will be seated” – The former striker of India makes a daring complaint | Cricket news

The former striker of India, Aakash Chopra, thinks that the return of Shubman Gill to the side almost ended the chances of Sanju Samson to find a place in the XI for the Asian Cup with water. “India seems to move to a fully format captain. With the return of Shubman Gill, the fate of Sanju Samson was more or less sealed. He will not appear in the XI Playing now. You will not deposit Tilak Varma or Hhelik Pandya, which means that Samson sits down and that Jiteh Sharma will probably get the head sign again. One thing is very clear of this selection, the shot slots were priority over personalities. With Gill as vice-captain, he will certainly play and open the striker. This mainly pushes Sanju Samson outside the XI, “said Chopra on Jiohotstar. Gill’s announcement as a vice-captain has again placed a question mark on the future of Samson in T20 internationals. Samson was included in the team, but Gill’s return has raised doubts about whether the Kerala’s striker will do the XI.

Speculation became stronger after the chief selector Ajit Agarkar read the names in a particular order. Gill and Jiteh Sharma were mentioned first, while Samson and Rinku Singh were appointed to the end. Many see this as an indication that Gill will open alongside Abhishek Sharma, while Jiteh can take the gloves and the bat in the role of the finisher. With Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hhelik Pandya and Axar Patel which should fill the positions of the average order, Samson’s opportunities seem limited. Jiteh could also be preferred to Rinku Singh as end of order pinch. Agarkar, however, played the debate, saying that the final XI would be decided by the captain and the coach once the team has reached Dubai. “Captain-coach will take the call on the best balance for the team. Once we arrive in Dubai, we will have a little more clarity. With more options available now, Shubman has been in great shape for a few months. Without Sanju, so two good options, with Abhishek,” said Agarkar.

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav added weight to the case of Jiteh Sharma, renting his transformation as a striker in the past year. “Publish the last T20 World Cup, we talked a lot about how to proceed. We have said don’t think of the milestones to come, follow your trip. He was a completely different cricket player pole. The way he played in IPL and domestic tournaments, he has again won his place, “said Surya. The captain also defended the selection of Pacer Harshit Rana, stressing his consistency. “He played very well in the IPL. In Pune, he came to replace the brain and was the man of the match in the last match he played for India. We support his skills, we know that he can deliver,” added Surya. With the chief selector and the captain offering various signals, Samson faces another nervous expectation. For the moment, its inclusion in the team is not in question, but its place in the XI seems more and more uncertain.
