Harbhajan Singh wants Sanju Samson in the World Cup squad

Who will serve as the wicketkeeper for India in the upcoming T20 World Cup? According to Harbhajan Singh, Sanju Samson should be given that responsibility. Samson is currently playing as the captain of Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. Harbhajan further emphasized that Samson's leadership qualities could benefit India. Former Indian spinner expressed confidence in considering this batter as the T20 captain after Rohit Sharma.

With the T20 World Cup approaching soon after the conclusion of the IPL, discussions about the Indian team are ongoing. Many players are performing well in the ongoing IPL, making it difficult for selectors to make decisions.

In the meantime, Harbhajan has expressed his bias towards including Samson in the squad as a wicketkeeper-batter.

Rajasthan secured a victory against Mumbai Indians on Monday's match. A former cricketer wrote on social media, "Yashasvi Jaiswal's innings has proved his class is long-lasting, while form is temporary. And there should be no doubt about including Sanju Samson in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. He needs to be nurtured in such a way that he can be the next T20 captain for India after Rohit. Any doubts?"

However, securing a spot in Samson's team won't be easy. Delhi Capitals' captain Rishabh Pant is another competitor on this list. It is somewhat certain that he will be in the squad.

Samson currently holds the fourth position in the list of top run-scorers in the ongoing IPL. So far, he has scored 314 runs in 8 matches with a strike rate of 152.42. He has achieved three half-centuries. In the latest match, he scored an unbeaten 38 runs against Mumbai, ensuring victory.

To include Samson in the Indian team, a few more names need to be dropped, where Lokesh Rahul, Ishan Kishan are present, who are also preparing as wicketkeeper-batters. Even Dinesh Karthik should not be ruled out. He recently announced that he is fully prepared to be a hundred percent part of the Indian team as an experienced cricketer.
