Sanju Samson's T20 World Cup Spot in Jeopardy After Poor Form
- •Sanju Samson scored only 46 runs in 5 matches against New Zealand, raising concerns about his consistency.
- •His struggle with early dismissals, especially against fast bowlers in the powerplay, is affecting team strategy.
- •Ishan Kishan's strong form, including a century and a half-century, presents a strong alternative for the wicketkeeper-opener role.
- •Tilak Varma's imminent return from injury further complicates Sanju Samson's chances for the T20 World Cup.
- •If Tilak Varma plays at number three, Ishan Kishan could open and wicket-keep, potentially sidelining Sanju Samson.
Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's inconsistent performance and strong competition from Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma threaten his T20 World Cup spot.
