Sanju Samson India T20 Captain: Sanju Samson, the explosive player who made Team India win the T20 World Cup, is in dominance at the moment. This player made Team India the world champion by batting amazingly and he was also selected as the Player of the Series. After this amazing performance of Sanju Samson, now there are talks of making him the T20 captain of Team India. Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif said that if Suryakumar Yadav leaves the captaincy for some reason then Sanju Samson is a good option to lead the team.

Sanju Samson has the potential to become T20 captain

Mohammad Kaif said, 'Sanju Samson can become the captain. Only the captain who has seen the world is good. A player who knows that out of form players are also important, who understands that failure is a part of the game, if he has good fitness then Suryakumar Yadav can play till 38. In the shorter format, it is even more important to have an experienced captain. If Surya steps out then Sanju is a good option. Sanju Samson also has the experience of captaining Rajasthan Royals. He has also taken the team to the finals. If his form is good and he maintains his fitness, he can definitely captain.

Would it be right to remove Suryakumar Yadav?

Suryakumar Yadav is currently 35 years old. He will be 37 years old by the 2028 T20 World Cup. It is a bit difficult for him to take charge of the team at the age of 37. However, this will depend more on his form and fitness than on his age. Team India won the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav but his performance as a player was average. Suryakumar Yadav scored a half-century only against USA in the entire tournament. He failed in the semi-finals and finals also. In the title match, he got out on a golden duck. Surya scored only 242 runs in the T20 World Cup at an average of 30.25, his strike rate was also 136. It is clear that Surya's bat is not working, in such a situation it is difficult for him to remain in the team leave alone being the captain. Now it remains to be seen what decision BCCI takes.
