In the first match of the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian team has made a great start with a 47-run win against Afghanistan. Now Team India will take on Bangladesh in its second match on Saturday, June 22. This match between the two teams will be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua.

With a win against Bangladesh, India's entry into the semi-finals will be almost certain. However, the team led by Rohit Sharma may make some changes in the match against Bangladesh. Wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson may be seen playing in this match.

Sanju Samson will play against Bangladesh!

It is worth noting that Sanju Samson has been seen sitting on the bench so far in the T20 World Cup 2024. The team management has expressed confidence in Rishabh Pant in his place. But now he may get a chance to play in the World Cup. In view of the consistently poor performance of CSK all-rounder Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson can be included in the playing XI against Bangladesh.

On one hand, Samson has not got a chance to play in the tournament yet, while Dubey has not been able to take advantage of the opportunity he has got so far. Dubey has scored only 44 runs in the four matches played so far and has proved to be a complete flop. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma can give a chance to Sanju Samson in place of Dubey in the match against Bangladesh.

Let us tell you that Sanju Samson performed very well in IPL 2024. Playing for Rajasthan Royals in the league, Samson scored 531 runs in 15 matches at an average of 48.27 and a strike rate of 153.47, which also includes 5 half-centuries.

India's probable playing XI against Bangladesh

Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey / Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh.
