Shubhman Gill: After the T20 World Cup 2024, India has to tour Zimbabwe. A five-match T20 series will be played between India and Zimbabwe, which will start from July 6. For the first time on this tour, the BCCI has handed over the command of India to Shubman Gill. This is the first time that Gill has been given the captaincy of India.

But more than Gill, there was one player who should have been given the command of India against Zimbabwe. Because this player has served India for the last 10 years. But despite this, BCCI has treated this player step-motherly. Who is this player, let us tell you

This player should have been the captain instead of Shubman Gill

• It is known that BCCI has given a chance to Sanju Samson for the Zimbabwe tour under the captaincy of Shubman Gill.
• He was selected as the main wicketkeeper. However, Sanju should have been given a place here not only as a wicketkeeper but also as a captain.
• This is because Sanju is senior to Gill in every respect. His performance in T20 cricket is also good.
• But despite this, Sanju has got a place only as a player.

Sanju Samson has more experience of captaincy

• It is known that Sanju Samson made his debut for India in 2015.
  Since then, it has been almost 10 years for him for India.
• But till now he has got a chance in only a few matches. However, if we look at captaincy skills, Sanju has more experience than Shubman Gill.
• Gill has captained the IPL for just one season. That too was not special.
• In fact, if we look at Sanju's captaincy, he has taken his team to the finals of the IPL once.
• He has taken the team to the playoffs once, which shows that giving him the captaincy is not a bad option.

Sanju Samson's performance was like this

• Wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson's international career has been full of ups and downs.
• He made his debut for the Indian team in 2015 but did not get many opportunities.
• He has played 16 ODIs (510 runs) and 25 T20 Internationals (374 runs) so far.
  Samson is part of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024.
