Suryakumar Confirms Samson To Be India’s Second Opener For T20Is Against Bangladesh
Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium: India skipper Suryakumar Yadav has confirmed that wicketkeeper Sanju Samson will be the side’s second opener alongside Abhishek Sharma in the T20I series against Bangladesh, starting at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior on Sunday. India return to the shortest format of the game after beating Sri Lanka 3-0 in Pallekele in July. With the side resting many of its regulars due to Tests being the priority format, Samson, who’s earned 30 caps in the format so far, has a chance to be a regular in the T20I side.
Samson has previously opened the innings five times for India in T20Is, with a highest score of 77. “The second opener is Sanju Samson. He will play, and he will open in the series going forward,” said Suryakumar in the pre-match press conference.
All eyes will be on the newbies in the Indian team for this series – tearaway pacer Mayank Yadav, pace all-rounders Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy – as they look to build a team for their Men’s T20 World Cup title defence at home in 2026.
