According to the latest reports coming out, Rajasthan Royals' dynamic skipper and wicketkeeper, Sanju Samson, will take the spot as India's first choice wicketkeeper for the upcoming T20 World Cup, signaling a new chapter in Indian cricket. 

Sanju Samson, hailed as one of cricket's unluckiest talents, faced fierce competition from top-notch wicketkeepers like Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, and Dinesh Karthik in his quest for a permanent spot in the Indian team. 

Despite his undeniable talent and India's persistent search for a reliable number 4 batter, Sanju never found himself in the mix for ICC tournaments. 

However, latest rumors suggest that Sanju Samson's moment has finally arrived. Not only is he being picked, but he's also poised to claim the position as India's first-choice wicketkeeper for the World Cup. 

If Sanju starts for India it's going to be a Rohit-Kohli-Suryakumar-Sanju top four for India in the World Cup. 

Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals performance is the key

Sanju Samson's captaincy skills shines as Rajasthan Royals soar to the top of the IPL points table. With a memorable run to the IPL final in 2022 under his belt, Samson has led RR with excellence, excelling not only with the bat but also behind the stumps.

 With Rishabh Pant returning from injury, this presents Samson with his best opportunity to claim for the World Cup berth. 

If Sanju gets picked  for the T20 World Cup squad, he would become only the second player from Kerala to represent the country in T20 World Cup, following in the footsteps of Sreesanth, who was a member of the title winning 2007 squad.
