After Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya disregarded Sanju Samson, Captain India was backed

Harbhajan Singh, one of the best spinners India has ever produced, was unambiguous in his assessment of the wicket-keeper’s position in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in 2024. Harbhajan believes the Rajasthan Royals captain is in the lead in the race, despite the fact that players like Dinesh Karthik,  Ishan Kishan , Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Sanju Samson are vying for the position behind the stumps. Following Samson’s pivotal part in the Royals’ triumph over the Mumbai Indians, Harbhajan not only supported Samson to take over as India’s T20I captain in place of Rohit Sharma, but also suggested his name for the wicket-keeper position.

Currently, Hardik Pandya has been named the Indian team’s vice-captain for the shortest format. In addition, he is widely predicted to succeed Rohit as India’s permanent white-ball captain. Harbhaajn, however, has other thoughts. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s knock serves as a constant reminder of class. The form is transitory, @ybj_19, and there is no need for discussion on the Keeper batsman. In addition to being trained to replace Rohit as India’s future T20 captain, @IamSanjuSamson ought to join the Indian team for the T20 World Cup. “Koi shak???,” Bhajji shared something on social media after RR defeated MI by 9 wickets on Monday.

Samson has led the Royals to the top of the IPL 2024 standings after eight games, and he has been in outstanding form for the team this season. Currently ranking second for his team this season, the wicket-keeper hitter has amassed 314 runs from 8 games with a strike-rate of 152.42 and an average of 62.80. This campaign, he has also amassed three half-centuries. In contrast, Hardik hasn’t performed well this season as a batsman, bowler, or captain.
