Ravi Shastri Backs Sanju Samson as Future India T20 Captain After World Cup Heroics

By IANS News May 15, 2026 • 11:30 AM View: 1170

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has singled out in-form batter Sanju Samson as a strong candidate for India’s T20I captaincy in the coming years, saying that the wicketkeeper-batter’s ‘maturity’ makes him a clear candidate for the role.

Samson’s recent performances, both in the IPL and at the international level, have elevated his profile as not only a reliable batter but also a potential leader. India recently celebrated their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup triumph on home soil under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav.
