‘Sanju Samson getting ruined at No-6’..Ashwin puts an end to this debate!

New Delhi. On one hand, BCCI has already announced Team India for Asia Cup 2023. On the other hand, Sanju Samson is being discussed. Now Team India’s spin master R Ashwin has also given his opinion on this discussion. The tour from West Indies to Ireland has seen Sanju Samson’s position go up and down. Due to which many veterans were in favor of him, many people were upset because of his number change.

Sanju Samson was tested in 2 matches in ODI series against Windies. Where in the first match he was fed at number 3 where Samson returned to the pavilion for 9 runs. At the same time, he was batted at number 4 in the third and final T20I and Samson scored a brilliant half-century. After this, his numbers fluctuated in the T20 series. Samson was fed from numbers 4 to 6. Samson seemed to be a complete flop in this series. However, in the second T20I against Ireland, playing at number 4, Samson’s bat spoke and he played an explosive innings of 40 runs. Statements of many veterans have come forward saying that they are being ruined by being fed at number 6. India’s spin master R Ashwin has now given his opinion on this debate.

Samson to bat at 3 or 4 – Ashwin

Speaking on the issue on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, ‘Jitesh is a right-handed player and Rinku is a left-handed batsman. Both Jitesh Sharma and Rinku Singh are capable of fitting into the No. 5 and No. 6 roles. However, I think Sanju Samson will get a chance over Jitesh Sharma as a wicketkeeper. This series is an extraordinary opportunity for Sanju to play as a keeper and bat at number 3. He will definitely bat at number 3 or 4.

When Shubman became Gill’s best friend Dewal, the captain-coach supported him, he now considers himself lucky.

He continued, ‘Another debate is how Sanju Samson is a top-order batsman and how he is getting wasted as a No. 6 in T20Is. Look, Team India’s top 4 has been really heavy during this period.
