Sanju Samson's T20 World Cup Dream in Jeopardy Amidst Poor Form

  • Sanju Samson is struggling with poor form in the ongoing T20 series against New Zealand, scoring only 40 runs in four matches.
  • His performance raises concerns about his place in the team, especially with the T20 World Cup 2026 in mind.
  • Ishan Kishan, returning to the national team, has performed well, scoring 112 runs in three innings, including a rapid half-century.
  • Former cricketer Parthiv Patel advocates for Ishan Kishan to replace Sanju Samson, suggesting Ishan should be the primary wicketkeeper for the T20 World Cup.
  • The team management faces a tough decision between Sanju and Ishan, especially if Tilak Varma returns from injury.

Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's poor form in the IND vs NZ series jeopardizes his T20 World Cup spot, while Ishan Kishan shines.
