Sanju Samson Next in Line for India Captaincy After Ignoring Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya admin, April 23, 2024 The recent performance of Indian cricketer Sanju Samson has sparked discussions about his potential as a future captain. Harbhajan Singh, acknowledging Samson’s form, expressed his belief that Samson should be included in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup and be groomed as the next T20 captain for India after Rohit Sharma. Harbhajan’s tweet came after a match where Rajasthan Royals’ player Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance underscored the notion of class being permanent while form is temporary. In his tweet, Harbhajan emphasized the importance of Samson’s inclusion in the national team and his potential to take on a leadership role in the future. Samson’s impressive form for the Royals, along with his role in leading the franchise to the top of the IPL 2024 standings, has further fueled the debate about his potential as a future captain. His strong performance as a wicket-keeper batter, accumulating 314 runs from 8 games at an average of 62.80 and a strike-rate of 152.42, has positioned him as a key player in the ongoing season. Comparatively, Hardik Pandya’s performance in the current season has not been up to the mark, prompting further discussions about potential changes in leadership and selection within the Indian cricket team.
