Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson, one of the star wicketkeeper-batsmen of the Indian cricket team, is currently playing on a whole new level. In his last two T20 international matches, he has scored consecutive centuries as an opener, setting multiple major records along the way.
He has become the only Indian player to have scored two consecutive T20 international centuries. However, despite this remarkable feat, he may not get to continue as an opener in the upcoming matches.
Sanju Samson May Be Removed from Opening
After the ongoing four-match T20 series between India and South Africa, India’s next T20 series will be against England in 2025. In this series, players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill could make a comeback, likely taking over the opening spots. As a result, Sanju Samson may be shifted to the number three or four position.
Samson Could Play at Number Three or Four
It’s worth noting that both of Sanju Samson’s T20 international centuries were scored while opening — one against Bangladesh and the other against South Africa. But with Jaiswal and Gill’s return, he may lose the opening position and be moved to the third or fourth spot. The five-match T20 series between India and England is scheduled to take place in January 2025.
England T20 Series in January 2025
The England cricket team is set to tour India at the beginning of 2025, where they will play a series of three ODIs and five T20 matches. The first T20 match between India and England is set to take place on January 22. It will be interesting to see at which position Sanju Samson plays in that match.
