Spots: Team India's next mission starts now. The four-match T20 series between India and South Africa will start from November 8. And in this series the command of the Indian team is in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav. Meanwhile, young and new players have a chance to cement their place in the Indian team by performing better. But this task will not be so easy, because the South African team is also very strong. In this series, all eyes will be on Sanju Samson who will also be seen opening the Indian innings in this series.
Sanju Samson has played 33 T20 matches for India so far. But even after this, it cannot be said that his place in the Indian team is confirmed. At present the team is present there for the series against Australia, so the responsibility of debut is on Sanju, otherwise it is not known whether he would have been in the team or not. Talking about debut, he has opened for India eight times out of the 33 T20 matches played so far. Before scoring runs in the last T20 match against Bangladesh, his debut performance was not very good. But his talent was showcased when he scored an incredible 111 runs in 47 balls against Bangladesh.
Now Sanju Samson is the only batsman in the team selected for the South Africa series who can open the innings with Abhishek Sharma. In such a situation, he is expected to start as a starter in all four matches of the series. This is a golden opportunity for Sanju Samson which he will have to capitalize on at any cost. He will have to score a century in at least one out of four matches. Only then will they come in front of everyone. Talking about this year's IPL for Sanju Samson, he scored 531 runs in a total of 16 matches while captaining his team Rajasthan Royals. Although he averages over 48, barring one century for India, the rest of his stats are not very good.
