There has been quite some buzz about who should open for India in the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli or Yashashvi Jaiswal. However, the Men in Blue sprung up a surprise with Sanju Samson opening with Rohit Sharma during the IND vs BAN warm-up match. As Samson walked out with the captain, the fans were left surprised.

However, Samson‘s new role didn’t have as much impact as he would have expected. The wicket-keeper batter went out for only 1 run in 6 balls after being dismissed by Shoriful Islam.
Sanju Samson had his greatest IPL season ever, scoring 531 runs and ranking fifth on the list of most run-scorers. The Kerala batsman demonstrated why he was the ideal choice for India’s T20 World Cup selection with excellent and consistent performances that helped RR dominate most of the IPL 2024.

Always maintained Sanju Samson is not off international standard. He is a domestic level player .He has a strong PR team. Just one century since his international debut in 2015. This is the guy who is hyped to the hilt.
