Sanju’s temperament can be gauged from this statistic. What he can do in ODIs can be gauged by looking at his performance against Africa last year. Only due to this performance can he get an entry in the Test team.
This is how you can get a chance
However, it is difficult to say when Sanju Samson will play Test for Team India.

Rohit Sharma is in India due to becoming a father. Apart from this, Rahul is also going to become a father. In such a situation, a player is not available for the match due to injury or any other personal reason.
