3 Indian players for whom Sanju Samson can become a big threat in the T20 team, will Rishabh Pant be cut?

Sanju Samson big threat for these 3 players in Indian T20I Team: Sanju Samson is considered one of the most talented players of India. For this reason, whenever he does not get a chance, the fans vent out their anger on the selectors as well as the captain and coach. However, in the absence of regular players in the T20 series against Bangladesh, Sanju got a chance and he took great advantage of it in Hyderabad. There was no performance with his bat in the first two matches of the series, but in the third match, he created havoc and scored his first century in T20 for India.

Sanju Samson displayed stormy batting at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and scored a century in just 40 balls, which is also the second fastest century by any batsman from Team India in this format. In his innings, Sanju faced 47 balls and played a tremendous inning of 111 runs with the help of 11 fours and eight sixes. Captain Suryakumar Yadav also seemed impressed by this player, while Gautam Gambhir had praised him a lot even before becoming the head coach. In such a situation, now that Samson has performed well, he can also become a threat to some players. In this article we are going to mention only them.

3. Abhishek Sharma

Explosive opener Abhishek Sharma, who caused havoc in IPL 2024, started his T20 International career in Zimbabwe and scored a century in the very second match. However, since then he has not been able to perform much and disappointed in the series against Bangladesh as well. Abhishek scored only 35 runs in three innings. In such a situation, only one spot will be left after the arrival of regular opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson has strongly presented his claim for this.

2. Shubhman Gill

Sanju Samson's excellent performance can also become a big headache for Shubman Gill. Gill has started getting a regular place in the Indian T20 team some time ago and he also starts the innings. However, Sanju can prove to be a more aggressive opening option and Team India can ignore Gill due to Samson's approach.

1. Rishabh Pant

Many people may be surprised to see Rishabh Pant's name in this list, but this player's performance in T20 International has not been anything special so far. Pant has done well in other formats but has not been able to do justice to his talent in T20 for India yet. In such a situation, Sanju Samson's good performance can become a big problem for him. Pant will also not be there in the upcoming T20 series against South Africa and if Samson does well during that period, then the team management can definitely consider giving him a place in the T20 team on a regular basis. Along with stormy batting, Sanju also does wicketkeeping, due to which he can be a big threat to Pant.
