Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta has explained why pickingJitesh Sharma over Sanju Samson is the correct call. Jitesh was preferred over Samson for the first T20I of the ongoing five-match series against South Africa.
Dasgupta, who represented India in 13 matches , explained that Jitesh is more of a full-time middle-order batter than Samson. He also mentioned that the team will not want to make a lot of changes in personnel before the T20 World Cup next year.
Like Dasgupta, many others have advocatedIndia to stick with Jitesh while considering Samson as a backup alternative for when an injury occurs.
