IND vs BAN: Indian cricket team has to play T20 series against Bangladesh from 6th October and the first match of this series will be played in Gwalior ground. The BCCI management has announced the team for the IND vs BAN series and the management has selected only Abhishek Sharma's name as the opener for this series.

For this reason, only one of the other 14 players selected for the IND vs BAN series can be made the opening batsman. But if media reports are to be believed, the management will send a player who is seen batting at number 5 as an opening batsman in the IND vs BAN series.

This player can become the second opener in IND vs BAN

This news is coming with reference to IND vs BAN series that the BCCI management can send a middle order player as an opening batsman. If media reports are to be believed, Sanju Samson, who was included as a wicketkeeper batsman by Team India coach Gautam Gambhir in the IND vs BAN series, can be sent as an opening batsman. Sanju has played the role of opening batsman in the first few innings and his performance has been better in them.

Gautam Gambhir has done such experiments before also

Team India's coach Gautam Gambhir is considered to have a very creative mindset and he has set its example many times. When Gambhir was captaining in the IPL, he started sending all-rounder Sunil Narine as an opener and he played an important role in the team's victory. After this, when he became a mentor with the team in the year 2024, he again promoted Narine in the batting order.

Sanju Samson's career has been very brilliant.

If we talk about Team India's wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson, his career has been very brilliant. In his career so far, he has scored 444 runs in 26 innings of 30 matches at an average of 19.10 and strike rate of 131.36. During this period, he has also played half-century innings twice.
