Indian team's wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has been selected in the team for Asia Cup-2025. Sanju has been a part of India's T20 team continuously for the last few months and is showing great game. In the Asia Cup too, he will be expected to lead Team India to victory with his strong game. However, Sanju will be seen changed in this Asia Cup.
Sanju has also prepared for his changed style. He has also made a sacrifice for this. Sanju wants to be fully ready for this change and is therefore molding himself accordingly.
Sanju made the sacrifice
Sanju is currently playing for Kochi Blue Tigers in the Kerala Cricket League. In this league, Sanju has sacrificed his favorite position. That is, he did not open the innings in this league match. Vinop Manoharan and Jobin Jobi took over the responsibility of opening for his team. Sanju had slotted himself at number five. However, he did not come to bat. Seeli Vishwanathan's half-century gave the team victory. The team achieved the target of 98 runs in 11.5 overs.
Sanju is an opener
The change in Sanju's batting position seems to be a preparation for the Asia Cup. Sanju was opening for India in T20. His and Abhishek Sharma's pair gave India a great start, but Shubman Gill has returned to the team for the Asia Cup and he is also an opener. Gill has been made the vice-captain, so it is certain that he will play in the playing-11. In such a situation, Sanju may have to sacrifice his position.
He has probably also realized that now he will have to bat at number 5 or 6 in the T20 team because Gill and Abhishek Sharma open the innings. Tilak Verma is at number three and captain Suryakumar Yadav is at number four. In such a situation, Sanju will get a chance to bat even after this.
