Controversy surrounds Hardik Pandya’s selection for T20 World Cup 2024

In fact, the wicketkeeper-batsman from the Indian team is also named Sanju Samson. This has earned him a spot in the 15-member squad heading to the T20 World Cups, which will be held in Times Square in New York and the Micronesia Dome in Guam. 

With this decision, Samson’s achievements can officially put a spot on this year’s IPL schedule, where he was the one who scored 385 runs for the Royals of Rajasthan in nine matches at a strike rate of 161.08.

He is Likely to take down some of the top middle-order batsmen, such as Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Shivam Dube, which will determine his place somewhere above or below the middle order. 

How Rahul falters to lock his place in the batting lineup might come up in the exchanges between Rohit and Ajit Agarkar at the press conference.

Nevertheless, Samson’s utmost interest is the IPL and the helm of his Rajasthan Royals team. Now, perched atop the IPL 2024 table after winning eight of the nine matches, Samson’s team clearly has a good chance to take the final spots in the playoffs.

He captains the Royals roster and has demonstrated improvement under his guidance, taking the team to the final in the 2022 season as the best team this year.

On May 5th, Rajasthan Royals shall renew the fight against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. To this end, Samson would spearhead the team’s efforts, who is the squad’s most productive batsman thus far.
