New Delhi. The T20 World Cup has started. India will play its first match against Ireland on June 5. The Indian team has also reached America for this. Team India will be led by Rohit Sharma. There is still talk about the wicketkeeper whether Rishabh Pant or Sanju Samson will get a chance in the World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar has given his opinion on this. Gavaskar has selected Rishabh Pant for this.
Sunil Gavaskar, while talking on Star Sports, said, “I think if you select based on wicketkeeping, then Rishabh Pant is a better wicketkeeper than Sanju Samson. We are not talking about batting here. However, the player will also be selected keeping in mind the batting. But Rishabh Pant has also batted well in the last few matches. Sanju Samson also gave a great start in the IPL season. He was sending the ball out of the field.”
