Will Sanju Samson sit out?
If Shubman Gill plays in the match, he will open with Abhishek Sharma. In such a situation, Sanju Samson may have to sit on the bench. Sanju was dropped from the playing eleven in the Australia tour. In his place, Jitesh Sharma was seen in the role of wicketkeeper. Jitesh also plays the role of finisher. On the other hand, Sanju has scored a lot of runs for India in the opening. But because of Gill he had to lose his place.
