IPL 2023: Focus shifts to IPL for Sanju Samson as the RR skipper aims to get back to the Indian team after recent snub
For the unversed, Sanju Samson was in contention to replace injured Shreyas Iyer in the team for the three-match ODI series against Australia owing to his good form in ODIs. However, BCCI selectors yet again choose to ignore the wicketkeeper batter and are not going to announce a replacement for Iyer. The three matches against Australia are the last ODIs before IPL 2023 begins. RR skipper Samson would now be aiming to score huge runs in IPL and try to get back to the Indian team.
IPL 2023: Why scoring runs in IPL 2023 is crucial for Samson to be back in the white-ball reckoning?
- With Rishabh Pant ruled out of IPL 2023 and ODI World Cup, Samson has a chance to play as a finisher in the middle order.
- Apart from Samson, KL Rahul, and Ishan Kishan are the other contenders for the wicketkeeper’s role.
- If Samson manages to show consistency in IPL for RR, then it would be tough for BCCI selectors to ignore him.
- With no clarity on Shreyas Iyer’s return to the national side, Samson can nail the middle order by performing well in IPL.
- The wicketkeeper batter had a fruitful season last year scoring 458 runs in 17 innings at a strike rate of 147,27.
