Winds of change are blowing in the Indian cricket world, and they carry the air of some serious shake-up. Fans are gearing up for some surprises as Gautam Gambhir takes over as India’s new T20 coach. Gambhir has created a stir by appointing Suryakumar Yadav as T20 captain, a move that shows he is not afraid of changing the status quo. But what does that mean for some of our favorite players? Specifically, what does this mean for Sanju Samson<\/strong><\/a> and some other big names?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanju Samson: On the verge of superstardom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sanju Samson is a cricketing gem from Kerala whose career has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. He’s the kind of player who makes you jump out of your seat one day and has you scratching your head the next. Unfortunately, his recent performances in the T20 series against Sri Lanka have leaned towards the latter, which could cost him his place in the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samson’s talent is undeniable, but consistency has always been his Achilles’ heel. His inability to perform under pressure in key matches put his T20 future in jeopardy. At the helm of Gambhir, a coach known for his no-nonsense approach, Samson’s seat on the T20 bus is looking increasingly shaky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s not write his cricket obituary just yet. Samson is known for bouncing back, and with the right guidance, he can still turn things around. For now, however, he may need to prove his mettle on the domestic circuit before pulling on the blue jersey again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KL Rahul: The rise and (temporary) fall<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL Rahul was once considered the mainstay of India’s T20 system. With 72 games under his belt and 2,265 runs under his belt, his experience is second to none. But in the fast-paced world of T20 cricket, the game can change in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rahul’s recent T20 form has been worrying. His shooting percentage, once his strength, has dropped significantly, which is a red flag when every ball counts. With a squad of power batsmen waiting in the wings, Rahul’s place in the T20 line-up is under serious threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, Rahul remains an important cog in India’s ODI machinery and his experience and steady hands are invaluable. So while his T20 future may be on thin ice, don’t be surprised to see him continue to shine in 50-over games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legends: The Twilight of a Veteran Pitcher<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every cricket fan knows that even the greatest players age with age. One such legend, who has been an integral part of India’s bowling attack, may now face the end of his T20 journey. While it is not easy to bid farewell to veterans, the reality is that T20 cricket requires youthful energy and relentless pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pitcher’s stellar career is cause for celebration, but as Gambill looks to build a team for the future, he’ll likely focus on developing young talent. The good news for fans of the legend is that experience is still of immense value in ODIs and Test cricket, and his cunning and intelligence can still work wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Contenders: Who else could be out?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apart from Samson and Rahul, several other names may also face the fate of being axed. Players who have been part of the T20 squad but have struggled to perform consistently may find themselves on the sidelines. Gambhir’s approach seems clear: Performance will determine selection, reputation alone will not guarantee a spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With promising talents constantly emerging, competition for spots in India’s T20 squad is fiercer than ever. This sends a clear message to everyone: if you want to play football, you need to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
