Harbhajan Singh, one of the finest spinners India has ever produced, minced no words while giving his verdict on the wicketkeeper’s role in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. Whereas there are players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan. With Sanju Samson and Dinesh Karthik fighting for the spot behind the stumps, Harbhajan feels the Rajasthan Royals captain is ahead of the rest in the race. (IPL 2024 points table)

After seeing Samson play a vital role in the Royals’ win against Mumbai Indians, Harbhajan not only advocated his name for the wicketkeeper’s role but also to replace Rohit Sharma as India’s T20I captain. Supported.

Currently, it is Hardik Pandya who has been named the vice-captain in the Indian team for the shortest format. Many people have also advised him to become the full-time white ball captain of India after Rohit. But, Harbhajan has other ideas.

“Yashaswi Jaiswal’s innings is proof that class is permanent. Form is temporary @ybj_19 and there should be no debate about the keeper batsman. @IamSanjuSamson should come into the Indian team for the T20 World Cup and be the next T20 captain.” Must also be ready for India after Rohit, any doubt???”, Bhajji wrote on X (formerly Twitter) after RR’s 9-wicket win over MI on Monday.

Samson has been in great form for the Royals this season, as well, taking the franchise to the top of the IPL 2024 standings after 8 matches. The wicketkeeper batsman is currently the second-highest run-scorer for his franchise this term, having scored a total of 314 runs in 8 matches at an average of 62.80 and a strike-rate of 152.42. He has also scored 3 half-centuries in this campaign.

In comparison, Hardik has not performed well in the season so far, be it as a batsman, bowler or captain.
