‘T20 consistency is overrated’: Cheteshwar Pujara backs Sanju Samson
Cheteshwar Pujara has backed Sanju Samson's ability to perform in T20 cricket despite the format's inconsistent nature, stating that top-order batters' consistency in T20s is "overrated." Samson scored 168 runs in five innings against West Indies, becoming the second-highest run-scorer and fourth overall for India in the five-match T20 series.
Pujara believes that Samson can bounce back with a single defining innings during India's upcoming multi-format tour of New Zealand, where Vaibhav Sooryavanshi might also have a chance to play. However, Pujara emphasized that it would be difficult to have both Samson and Sooryavanshi in the starting lineup together in New Zealand conditions.
