It will be challenging for the newly appointed head coach of the Indian cricket team, Gautam Gambhir, to select either Rishabh Pant or Sanju Samson for the three T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka starting here on Saturday.
Except for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have retired from the shorter format, most of the players of the T20 World Cup-winning team have come on the Sri Lanka tour and in such a situation, it will not be easy to select either of Pant and Samson as both of them are aggressive wicketkeeper batsmen.
Who will fill the place?
Even though two places are vacant in the Indian batting order, it will not be easy to field either of these two as a batsman. Pant scored 171 runs in the T20 World Cup while Samson did not get a chance to play a single match even though he was part of the team. This series between India and Sri Lanka has become important for the Indian team because this is Gambhir's first series as the head coach while the new captain of the team is Suryakumar Yadav.
Gambhir's word will prevail.
Given Gambhir's record, it is certain that his word will be given more importance in the team combination. When Pant was out of the team after being injured in a car accident in December 2022, Ishan Kishan, Samson, Jitesh Sharma, and Dhruv Jurel were tried as wicketkeeper-batsmen.
