Team India: Team India is playing a three-match Test series against New Zealand at home. Currently the first match of the series is going on, in which India seems to be lagging behind in the match. At the same time, the chances of the team winning seem to be very high. First, now between the second and third matches, a big update has come regarding Team India’s squad, according to which the 29-year-old wicketkeeper is going to get a chance in the Indian team for the Test series for the first time. Who is this player? Let’s find out
This 29-year-old player will enter Team India for the test
Let us tell you that wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant was injured while batting in the first Test being played against New Zealand in Bengaluru. He had a knee injury. After the car accident in 2022, he suffered an injury in the same leg, for which he had undergone surgery. After the match, when Rohit Sharma was asked about Pant’s injury, he said that there is a lot of swelling in his leg, so he needs rest. This is the reason why Pant can get rest in the remaining two matches against New Zealand (Team India).
Sanju Samson will get a chance
Sanju Samson may get a chance in Team India when Rishabh Pant is rested. Let us tell you that Sanju has not played any match for India in Test cricket yet. He has definitely played ODI and T20 cricket. But he could not play the rest of the Test matches. Sanju, who made his debut in 2015, has not played many matches in white ball cricket either. But now he is getting opportunities for India. This is the reason why in the absence of Pant, Sanju can be selected as the second wicketkeeper in Test cricket.
Sanju’s performance in first class was excellent
Sanju Samson can also be selected in Team India in Test cricket because his performance in Test cricket is similar to Pant. This can be gauged by looking at Siraj’s performance in the recently held Deep Trophy. Sanju played a stormy innings of 106 runs here. If we look at his first class career, he has scored 3819 runs in 64 matches with 11 centuries and 16 half-centuries at an average of 38.
