Former Indian Opener Kris Srikkanth thinks that Jiteh Sharma should play in front of Sanju Samson in the role of a finisher despite the brilliant victory of the team against Pakistan during the highly anticipated confrontation of the 2025 Asian Cup. With Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma opening the striker in the first two games of the tournament, Samson in the middle order.
However, during the victory over Pakistan, the counter striker did not fight, even at n ° 5. The Big-Shivam Dube entered after the fall of the third counter to help the Suryakumar Yadav well established to finish the match.
Speaking of Samson’s place in the order of the strikers after Pakistan’s victory over his YouTube channel, Srikkanth said (18:35):
“100% Jitesh Sharma is the best finisher. I feel for Sanju, he is a first -rate striker. Sanju is a brilliant player but he is a first -rate drummer. He will dismantle the bowling although if he beats in the top three. But if you ask him immediately to hit the level of the lower means, he cannot do it.”
He added:
“Sanju will hardly have the opportunity to beat. They have just accommodated him. Jiteh Sharma should have played. Also who is a better thread at 6, Sanju or Hardy Pandya? Obviously, Hardya Hardya is a better drummer at 6 years old. So Sanju will not get at all.”
Samson opened the striker for India in T20is since the middle of last year, before the Asian Cup, with great success. It has an average of 38 at a strike rate of 183.70 in 12 outings, including three incredible centuries.
“It’s unfair on Arshdeep” – Kris Srikkanth
Kris Srikkanth thinks that the left arm stimulator Arshdeep Singh has received a gross agreement by being excluded from the Indian XI so far in the Asian Cup. The 26-year-old is the first juicication of all time in T20IS with 99 camarapes in 63 games at an average of 18.30 and an economy of 8.29.
“I feel really bad for Arshdeep. It is unfair on Arshdeep. It is on 99 T20i counters, the highest for us. It will therefore soon go to the brand at 100 tickets,” said Srikkanth (via the aforementioned source).
Arshdeep also led all the quatrees with 17 counters during the winning race of India during the T20 World Cup of 2024. However, the men in blue prioritize the depth of striker, leaving only three specialized only (Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy) a place in the XI.
