Sanju Samson Continuing Fierce Form in Domestic Cricket

The 31-year-old is set to be the first-choice keeper in India’s T20 World Cup playing XI after the axing of another gloveman, Jitesh Sharma, from the squad. Yuvraj’s insights will be pivotal for the batter before entering the mega ICC event on home soil. Previously, he had featured in the Men in Blue’s squad during their triumphant campaign last edition but did not manage to play in a fixture.

However, Samson has been in fine form in both of India’s domestic white-ball tournaments so far. After scoring 233 runs in six matches of the SMAT 2025, including two fifty-plus knocks, the Kerala skipper also notched up a match-winning century on his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26. His 101 against Odisha came in only 95 balls, laced with nine boundaries and three maximums.

The upcoming New Zealand T20Is, starting on January 11, will be the final opportunities for the player to prepare for the World Cup. Earlier, he had missed out on most of the action in the latest series against Australia and South Africa, as the management was keen to try Jitesh as India’s primary keeper-batter option.
