India vs Canada: Will Kuldeep and Samson get their long awaited start at the T20 World Cup 2024?

There is a chance that Kuldeep Yadav and Sanju Samson can get the go-ahead for their much-awaited debut in this World Cup.

New Delhi: India has qualified for the Super 8 after delivering an all-round performance in both bat and ball. Subsequently, after completing their Nassau assignment, the team takes the trip further south to Florida. It will be the final group stage match for the men in blue before they make a switch to the Caribbean for the Super 8s.


One of the main questions that is hovering around is subject to the selection of the probable XI that could field against Canada. With the game turning into a dead rubber, the men in blue could likely tinker with the playing XI.

According to an insider report, Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav could both get the go-ahead of the big game as the traditional moguls of international cricket would most likely try and test the remaining artillery in their store.

Who will make way for Kuldeep and Sanju?

The question that remains is who will make way for Kuldeep and Sanju. There are many possibilities with which the India team can go ahead. As of now, there is a chance that Kuldeep Yadav and Sanju Samson can get the go-ahead for their much-awaited debut in this World Cup.

But, the main question is how can the Playing XI look? Well, in place of Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson can get the green signal. It will be a like-for-like substitution in the playing XI. If the Indian team decides to use Pant to give stability to the middle order, Shivam Dube might make way for Samson. However, in the absence of Dube, the onus will be on Hardik Pandya to end with a flurry and act in the role of the finisher.

On the other hand, Kuldeep’s inclusion can lead to a toss-up between Axar and Jadeja. However, if India decides to test the ‘Kul-Cha’ attack after a long time, Axar and Jadeja will both have to sit on the sidelines
