Sunil Gavaskar Weighs In On Pant vs. Samson For T20 World Cup: "Last Few Games..."
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has shared his thoughts on the team's wicketkeeping options for the T20 World Cup . India has included two wicketkeepers, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson , in their 15-man squad for the tournament. Both players have showcased their skills in the Indian Premier League ( IPL ), with Samson having a notable season with the bat and Pant making a remarkable return to competitive cricket.
Addressing the debate on India's first-choice wicketkeeper , Gavaskar advocated for Pant based on his superior glovework .
"Yes, I think simply because if you compare the wicketkeeping abilities then Rishabh Pant is a better wicketkeeper than Samson. We're not talking about batting here, the batting aspect also comes into play. But, Rishabh Pant in the last few matches has batted really well. On the other hand, Sanju Samson started the IPL season superbly, scored runs at will, hitting the ball to all corners of the ground," Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
