3 Reasons why Rishabh Pant should be preferred ahead of Sanju Samson for T20 World Cup 2020
Pant has already lost his place in the Test team to Wriddhiman Saha and he is on the verge of losing his place in the other formats to Samson.
3. Experience of playing top-tier bowlers in Australia
The key aspect that the selectors will take into the consideration is the ability of the players to do well in Australian conditions. The pitches in Australia are much more favourable to the pacers than the Indian wickets. Thus, the batsmen who tackle the fast bowlers well can perform well Down Under.
Sanju Samson has very little experience of playing international cricket let aside playing international cricket in Australian conditions. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant has scored a Test century in Australia against a top tier Australian bowling attack.
Besides, the selectors would not want to let all the matches that Pant played go in vain without giving him a place in the ICC T20 World Cup squad. The left-handed batsman had played for India in the ICC World Cup 2019 so he has got the experience of playing in an ICC tournament. Expect him to steal the show in Australia in October.
