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.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.
Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.
Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.
Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.
Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.
Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.
Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.
Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.
Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
