Ishan Kishan Snags Wicketkeeping Role, Samson Left Wondering
In the fifth T20I against New Zealand, Ishan Kishan took the wicketkeeping reins, leaving Sanju Samson pondering his fate. With a dazzling 215 runs in four innings, Ishan's the star, while Samson's on drink duty. Captain Suryakumar Yadav made it clear: Ishan was the chosen one, ready to dominate the World Cup stage!
Quick rundown
- Two-keeper plan locked: Kishan for two games, Samson for three, before a ball was bowled.
- Samson's form slump vs Kishan's 215 runs in four innings shifts the XI balance.
- Tilak Varma's niggle opened the door for Kishan's gloves in the final two matches.
- Suryakumar hints Kishan could open or bat at No. 3, WC plans already on the coach's whiteboard.
- Kishan as Abhishek Sharma's opening partner seems likely; Samson may ride the bench and hydrate the drinks.
