Sunil Gavaskar Takes a Potshot at Rishabh Pant
Sunil Gavaskar has taken a shot at Rishabh Pant, who is missing from the Indian team’s upcoming white-ball series against West Indies. The legendary cricketer believes that the young wicketkeeper-batsman should have been part of the squad, despite his recent form.
Sanju Samson Handed a Lifeline
Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel has handed Sanju Samson a lifeline by including him in both the ODI and T20 squads. With Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul missing from the Caribbean tour, Samson has a chance to prove his worth.
Samson’s Chance to Make the Transition
The Asia Cup and World Cup are just around the corner and Samson has a great opportunity to make the transition from being a fringe player to a regular member of the playing XI. With Pant likely to be ruled out of both tournaments, Samson has a golden chance to make his mark.

Sanju Samson has been handed a great opportunity to prove his worth to the Indian team. With the Asia Cup and World Cup looming, the Rajasthan Royals skipper has a chance to make the transition from being a fringe player to a regular member of the playing XI. Gavaskar believes that Pant should have been part of the squad, despite his recent form.
