Shastri backs Sanju Samson for future India T20I captaincy

Dubai, May 15 (UNI) Former India coach Ravi Shastri believes in-form batter Sanju Samson has emerged as a candidate for India’s T20I captaincy.
Suryakumar Yadav led India to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title at home two months ago, where Samson was named Aramco Player of the Tournament.
“India, come the next (T20) World Cup (in 2028), might be looking for a new captain, depending on how Surya goes over the next couple of years,” Shastri said on the ICC Review.
