Samson vs Kishan: T20 World Cup 2026 Spot Heats Up After Vizag Performance
- •Sanju Samson struggled in the 4th T20I against New Zealand in Vizag, scoring 24 off 14 balls before being bowled by Mitchell Santner.
- •Samson's dismissal showed a lack of footwork, raising concerns about his confidence after scoring only 16 runs in the previous three matches.
- •Ishan Kishan, despite missing the Vizag match due to a niggle, has been in top form since returning to the Indian team.
- •Former cricketer Parthiv Patel suggests playing Ishan Kishan over Sanju Samson, especially as a wicketkeeper-batter, for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
- •With Tilak Varma's return, the competition for opening and wicketkeeper-batter spots intensifies, putting pressure on Samson to perform.
Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's inconsistent form and Ishan Kishan's strong performance intensify their battle for a T20 World Cup 2026 spot.
