Sanju-Gaikwad will not get a chance in Team India

It is difficult for wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson to get a chance in the playing eleven of the first match of the India vs Zimbabwe T20 series.

Because Sanju Samson will travel directly from the T20 World Cup to Zimbabwe, so keeping his fitness in mind, the management can give him rest in the first few matches.

For this reason, he can be dropped from the playing eleven. Along with this, news is also coming that Dhruv Jurel can be given a chance at the wicket and wicketkeeper in this match.
