Ex-IND opener Aakash Chopra omits Samson in XI for 1st T20; explains why

Team India will return to action later in the day as the team face Sri Lanka in the first of three T20Is in Lucknow. There have been some changes to the team — some intentional, some forced. While older players Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant rested for the series, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Chahar all missed T20Is with injuries.

The absence of a large number of seniors has paved the way for new faces, with former India opener Aakash Chopra dropping his batting order for the first T20I on Thursday. India’s wicket-taker batsman Sanju Samson returned in the series, but Chopra insisted on top order from Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma.

“Ruturaj Gaikwad should have opened with Ishan Kishan. The question correctly arises; “Why not Sanju Samson? “I believe once you start playing Ishan Kishan, let’s end the story regardless of where it ends. Maybe it has a happy ending. At least, give it plenty of leverage. If he fails, that’s okay. If you’re in 3 games To replace him later, it will be a battle,” Chopra argued on his official YouTube channel.

“I want to open with Ruturaj because Rohit can hit with a 3. Let Rohit play 3. Give Ruturaj three chances as well. This will also ensure an open left-right combination and Ruturaj will get what he deserves. opportunity.”

Chopra went on to lay out his batting order, saying that because he’s a top hitter, it doesn’t make much sense to hit Samson in the middle or lower half.

“Rohit No. 3, Shreyas Iyer No. 4, Deepak Hooda No. 5. Why do you play No. 5 when Samson is a top hitter? If you can’t give him a chance, there’s no point wasting his chances. Instead, give opportunities to those who can really play that position. I’ll bring Venkatesh Iyer at six o’clock,” Chopra said.
