India's predicted second-string playing XI for the Asia Cup
Even after knowing the fact that the Asia Cup might be shifted, the BCCI is looking forward to sending a second-string squad.
3. Sanju Samson
If one looks at Sanju Samson’s career, one would conclude with the fact that he has been unlucky over the years. For a batsman who has this tremendous ability to play match-winning knocks, an experience of 7 T20Is is not justified. Although it is difficult to get into a playing eleven consisting of eleven players representing a billion people, Samson has been unlucky.
Sanju Samson is going to lead the Royals this IPL. And this opens a window of opportunity to change the fortunes of the inaugural champions. Samson has played 107 IPL matches. With a strike rate of 133.75, he can hit sixes at will. Therefore, he is a perfect top-order batsman for any team.
Adding on, Samson is a top-class fielder. And during the tour to Australia, he took some sharp catches and saved valuable runs for his team. Samson also is a wicketkeeper, who can take the job if KL Rahul decided to take a break. Given the fact that Samson is the future of Indian cricket, his presence is important.
