Meanwhile, wicket-keeper batter Jitesh Sharma has replaced Samson in the squad. Jitesh has been nothing short of sensational in the T20 format in 2022 whether in the IPL or in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Talking about Samson, he had an off-day during India’s 1st T20I match against Sri Lanka. He failed to fire up with the bat and was caught out after scoring only 5 runs. He also made a couple of mistakes while fielding too.
