IND vs NZ Live Score: Samson must seize his opportunity
India is performing well in both batting and bowling. The team will only be concerned about a few positions, one of which is currently held by Samson. Ishan's brilliant 76 off 32 balls has increased the pressure on Sanju. Samson, who was reinstated as an opener alongside Abhishek in place of Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, has failed to capitalize on his opportunities, despite having played a significant number of matches. Despite Gill's technical strength, he failed to make much of an impact in T20 matches, and therefore, the bold decision to include Sanju in the playing XI was made to drop him. However, despite returning to his preferred batting position, the Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman has yet to live up to expectations. Therefore, this series could prove to be decisive for him. His weakness against fast bowlers has once again been exposed.
