    Rishabh Pant vs Sanju Samson: Who is the best choice for team India?

    Only 976 runs were scored at a very low average of 22.69 and a strike rate of 125.77...


    Digital Desk: Once more, wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant is under criticism after his poor performance in the second T20 match against New Zealand. After Rohit Sharma and fellow opener, KL Rahul was rested for the tour, Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan took the field. Kishan scored 36 runs off 31 balls, while Pant was out for 6 runs.


    Now, the decision of whether to leave the ball and give Sanju Samson a chance is up for debate. Pant was named ahead of Sanju in Team India's T20 World Cup 2022 team. The left-hander was selected for the starting lineup for both the semifinal against England and the last Super 12 game against Zimbabwe, but he was unable to contribute much.

    When the ball continues to fail, many believe that Kerala cricketer Sanju Samson should be named India's first-choice T20 keeper. This is due to a variety of factors. Given the number of chances that Ball has had in T20, it is time to pull the guy out. There is no dispute about Ball's potential. However, the 25-year-old has taken part in 65 T20 games. Only 976 runs were scored at a very low average of 22.69 and a strike rate of 125.77.


    Not only are his overall numbers disappointing, but so is his recent T20 record. Pant has played 37 international matches in the shortest format since the start of 2021. Only 566 runs were scored at an average of 24.60. The team only exists because of his reputation and his excellence

    Sanju had a tough start, but his performance this year has been fantastic. The right-handed batsman has scored 39, 18, 77, 30, and 15 runs in his last five T20Is. Sanju's record in ODIs is also excellent. He has scored 43, 15, 86, 30, and 2 for India in his last five 50-over innings. He did not get out all four times.


    It is disappointing that Sanju was not chosen for the T20 World Cup in 2022. From start to finish at the World Cup, Team India was confused of who should be the first-choice keeper batsman. started with Karthik but ultimately backed Pant. In the end, neither player received justice. Former coach Ravi Shastri also believes that after giving Sanju at least 10 consecutive chances, a decision should be made concerning the player.
