Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma Opening IND vs BAN 1st T20: India vs Bangladesh first T20 match will be played on 6 October in Gwalior and this three-match series will continue till 12 October. Now Indian T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav has announced that Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma will open the innings for India in the upcoming series. Samson, who has been constantly out of Team India, is now getting a chance to open in the entire series.
One reason for promoting Samson to the opening slot is that Abhishek Sharma is the only player in Team India’s squad against Bangladesh who plays as a regular opener. Samson has not been able to perform well as an opener for India, but in the IPL, he has been scoring a lot of runs as an opener while playing for Rajasthan Royals.
Before the match to be held in Gwalior, captain Suryakumar Yadav told in the press conference, “Sanju Samson will play and open for the team. His partner will be Abhishek Sharma.” This announcement shows how much confidence the team management has in Samson. On the other hand, if we talk about Abhishek Sharma, he made his international debut for India on the Zimbabwe tour and in the same series, he laid the foundation of his bright future by scoring a century.
Sanju Samson got a chance to play in two matches of the T20 series against Sri Lanka, but he was out on the score of zero both times. This time Samson will have to score runs at any cost. If we look at his T20 career, Samson has so far scored 444 runs in 30 T20 matches.
