Sanju Samson supported for India captaincy after Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya overlooked.

The Indian cricket player, Harbhajan Singh, has been suggested as a potential candidate for the nation’s white-ball captaincy after Rohit Sharma, but he expressed a different view. He argued that the Rajasthan Royals player, Sanju Samson, should be chosen for the Indian T20 team and groomed as the next T20 captain for India. He emphasized his viewpoint on a social media platform, indicating his confidence in Samson’s capabilities. Samson’s outstanding performance for the Royals and his leadership in the IPL 2024 season have underlined his worthiness for selection.

He has been the second-highest run-scorer for his team, accumulating 314 runs in 8 games at an impressive average of 62.80 and a strike-rate of 152.42. On the contrary, Hardik Pandya is struggling with his form, across batting, bowling, and captaincy, during the ongoing season. Overall, Harbhajan Singh’s endorsement of Sanju Samson’s inclusion in the Indian T20 team and his potential captaincy role reflects the former’s belief in the player’s abilities and performance.
