T20 WC: Pant Would Be The First Choice Wicketkeeper-batter Over Samson, Believes Ajay Ratra
T20 World Cup: On April 30, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson were picked as the wicketkeeper-batters by India in their 15-member squad for the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup, to be held in West Indies and USA from June 1.
While this is the first time Samson has been picked in an India squad for senior men's World Cups, Pant is returning to the national set-up for the first time since recovering from injuries suffered in a life-threatening car accident in December 2022.
In IPL 2024, Samson has amassed 385 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 161. On the other hand, Pant has scored 398 runs in 11 innings at a strike-rate of 159. While Samson has hit 36 fours compared to the 31 smashed by Pant, the latter has smacked 24 sixes compared to the former’s 17 maximums.
