Samson scored 458 runs in the IPL 2022 season but could convert just two of his starts into big scores.
Kapil Dev believes it is the wicketkeeper’s inconsistency that’s hurting him with respect to a place in the current Indian squad. He feels Samson is not short of talent but just needs to work on getting the big scores and not throwing away his starts.
Speaking on “Uncut,” Kapil Dev also shed light on the other wicketkeeping options that India have at the moment like Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, and Dinesh Karthik. He said:
Dev added about another Indian wicketkeeper, Wriddhiman Saha:
Dinesh Karthik is ahead of all in terms of consistency: Kapil Dev
India have three wicketkeeping options to choose from for the T20 World Cup in Australia within their current T20I squad in Pant, Kishan and Karthik. Kapil Dev opined that out of the three, the Tamil Nadu gloveman is miles ahead when it comes to scoring consistently.
He also believes Ishan Kishan felt the pressure of the price tag in the IPL 2022 season and that’s what bogged him down. Dev stated:
Further praising Karthik for his fairytale comeback into the Indian team, Kapil Dev added:
If India choose to go with just two wicketkeeping options for the T20 World Cup, it will be interesting to see who they leave out from the aforementioned options.
