Sanju Samson Primed for T20I Success: Saba Karim’s Insight Ahead of Zimbabwe Series

Former Indian cricketer Saba Karim is optimistic about the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe being a pivotal moment for talented batsman and wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. Karim believes that Samson’s diverse skill set makes him an ideal candidate for a consistent presence in India‘s T20I squad.

Despite being part of India’s victorious 2024 T20 World Cup team, Sanju Samson didn’t get much playing time during the tournament. With Rishabh Pant‘s return to form after injury, Samson faces a crucial opportunity to showcase his abilities in the Zimbabwe series.

During the recently concluded IPL, Samson impressed both as a leader for Rajasthan Royals and as a dynamic player with the bat and gloves. While there was anticipation around Samson’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup playing XI, Captain Rohit Sharma opted to persist with Pant.

As per Saba Karim’s analysis on Sony Sports, the Zimbabwe series could be a defining moment for Sanju Samson. Karim hinted at the possibility of Samson slotting in at the crucial number 3 position in the T20I lineup, enhancing India’s batting depth.
