Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar has shared why he feels that Jitesh Sharma will be a better option than Sanju Samson as wicketkeeper-batter in India's Playing XI for the five-match series against South Africa. The five-match series between India and South Africa is scheduled to kickstart on December 9.
Bangar himself agreed that Samson's best position in the batting order was up top. However, he felt that the Kerala cricketer will not find a spot at the top and even in the middle with the likes of Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube or Hardik Pandya sitting comfortably in their spots in the middle order.
Bangar, who has also been India and RCB batting coach in the past, opined that the Amravati-born has more experience of finishing innings with the older ball as compared to Samson, a key reason behind the RCB cricketer having an edge over the CSK recruit.
