Bengaluru: All eyes will be on wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson as Team India embarks on the third Twenty20 against Afghanistan today. Malayalee fans are hoping that Sanju will be in the playing XI in Team India’s last T20 match before the Twenty20 World Cup. Not only the Malayalis but all those who love Sanju’s aggressive batting argue that Team India should give the star a chance today. But former actor and commentator Akash Chopra’s position is different from this.
Akash Chopra claims that Jitesh Sharma should replace Sanju Samson as a wicket-keeper batsman. If Jitesh Sharma had confirmed his place in the World Cup team, there would be no need for a question mark in front of his name. Jitesh would naturally play the World Cup. We are thinking about Sanju only because Jitesh has not confirmed his position. But if the performance of Sanju Samson was to be checked, Sanju should have been played in all the three matches. Akash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that no player can be measured by a single match, this is the problem that Sanju faced throughout his career.
In the last two T20s against Afghanistan, Team India has given Jitesh Sharma a chance to skip Sanju. In the first Twenty20 against Afghanistan, Jitesh shone with 31 runs off 20 balls while he was out for zero in the second match. But Chopra said that Jitesh needs to be given another chance.
All-rounder Shivam Dubey was the discovery of the T20 series against Afghanistan. Dubey can be played at number four. Akash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that it is not feasible to give Thilak Verma a chance in that position as Rinku Singh has not had a chance to face many balls. India have already clinched the series after winning the first two games of the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. Team India can sweep the series 3-0 if they win the final match in Bengaluru.
