Surya, who’s the World No. 1 T20 batter is but to crack the code in ODI cricket, was most well-liked as coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma have a variety of hope from him replicating his exploits within the shortest format.
Samson, who averages 55 in 12 ODI innings, which is almost 31 greater than that of Surya wasn’t picked within the aspect regardless of being in reserves for the Asia Cup. Now, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has backed the selectors over the large name saying that Samson’s recreation is riskier than that of Surya and the latter is a extra full participant than the stumper.

“Samson performs riskier cricket than Surya. Surya might want to bat the precise variety of balls like he does in T20. While you bat from the thirty fifth over, you want a recreation the place you’ll find the gaps within the discipline, and no one is best than Surya than doing that. If it have been as much as me, I’d play Surya in each recreation. He wants simply 30 balls to vary the sport,” the previous World Cup winner added.
Surya will solely get a chance if Shreyas Iyer or KL Rahul will get injured given Ishan Kishan together with his 82-run knock towards Pakistan has gotten greater within the pecking order.
