In a surprising turn of events, Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson will open alongside Rohit Sharma in the warm-up match against Bangladesh. The Men in Blue face their neighbors in their only warm-up match before qualifying for the group stage of the T20 World Cup.
India chose Sanju Samson as opener for the warm-up match between IND and BAN
Since this is a warm-up match, India should be liberal in their tactics. However, whether the Men in Blue will pick Samson in the first match is debatable given that Gill and Jaiswal are also part of the team. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli will miss the match at the Nassau County Cricket Ground in New York.
Sanju Samson had his best season in the Indian Premier League so far, finishing with 531 points, putting him at the fifth highest scorer. The Kerala batsman proved why he is the right choice for India in the T20 WC squad with commendable and consistent performances that helped RR dominate most of the IPL 2024.
