Captain Shikhar Dhawan has said that sometimes you have to wait for Team India to choose Rishabh Ball over Sanju Samson.
Shikhar Dhawan has said that it is not difficult at the captain’s position when it comes to making tricky choices like choosing Rishabh Pant over Sanju Samson.
In recent days, there is a growing question among cricket experts and fans as to why other players are constantly denied opportunities when the players in the team are not performing well. In that way, when the wicketkeeper batsman Rishab Bunt continues to miss opportunities, the question of why another wicketkeeper batsman, Sanju Samson, who is on the bench, is not given a chance is being criticized.
In this case, Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan, who had spoken after the end of the previous ODI, about giving Rishabh Pant the first chance over Sanju Samson, said, “Rishabh Pant has proven to be a “match-winner”. Bundy said he deserves full support from the team management as he faces a tough phase. Dhawan also asked Sanju Samson to wait for the opportunity.
Shikhar Dhawan said, “Overall you have to look at the big picture, you have to see who is your match winner. If you analyze then your results will be based on that. Of course, Sanju Samson has been doing well in every opportunity he has got. But sometimes you have to wait for your opportunities. Because the other player has done well and been a match-winner and now you have to support him when he’s not doing well.”
In two white-ball format matches, Bundy has scored only 10, 15, 11, 6, 6, 3, 9, 9 and 27 runs in his last 9 innings.
Samson, on the other hand, has excelled in limited opportunities. And last month he did well in the ODIs against South Africa. He scored 36 runs in the first ODI in Auckland.
