India’s Big Move Signals Sanju Samson Could Be Dropped for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi!

Siddhant Tripathi argues that India may be preparing to drop Sanju Samson after Ishan Kishan took over wicketkeeping duties in the fourth T20I against New Zealand. Following scores of 67, 14, 18, and 4 in the series, Samson is under pressure due to batting inconsistency. Tripathi suggests handing Kishan the gloves allows India to evaluate Samson purely as a specialist batter.

According to the writer, this tactical move opens a clear route for young batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to return to the top order alongside Abhishek Sharma. Sooryavanshi previously scored 45 off 19 balls in the third T20I before being benched, and the article contends that he deserves an extended run in the national side.
