IND vs AUS: Wasim Jaffer Says Sanju Samson Is Not A Bad Option To Replace Suryakumar Yadav In Third ODI

Wasim Jaffer Sanju Samson, IND vs AUS: The Men in Blue kick-started the ODI series with a win over the Aussies. Actually, Rohit Sharma skipped the first ODI due to personal reasons. As a result, Hardik Pandya led the team from the front.

Team India won the ODI series opener by five wickets at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. As a result, Team India took the first lead in the three-match ODI series.

Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets and scored an unbeaten 45 in the first ODI. Rightly so, he was adjudged the player of the match for his all-round performance.

However, the Aussies made a stunning rebound in the second ODI at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam.

They toyed with the Indian players and annihilated them across all three aspects of the game. India were bowled out for a mere 117 as Mitchell Starc took a brilliant fifer.

Australia won the second ODI by 10 wickets and levelled the series. Meanwhile, Wasim Jaffer came up with a change, while speaking to ESPNcricinfo.

IND vs AUS: Wasim Jaffer feels Sanju Samson should replace Suryakumar Yadav in the third ODI

Former Indian cricketer, Wasim Jaffer reckons that Sanju Samson should replace Suryakumar Yadav in the third and final ODI.

The series decider between India and Australia will kick off on March 22, Wednesday in Chennai. Both teams will be giving it all in the contest to win the series.

Wasim Jaffer feels Sanju Samson is not a bad option to replace Suryakumar Yadav in the final ODI. Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed or a golden duck in the first two ODIs against Australia.

“We might sympathize with Suryakumar Yadav as the first ball that he faced was of 145 clicks. No doubt that it’s challenging when a left-arm seamer tries to bring the ball back in. Again, he should have anticipated that when Mitchell Starc bowls, he will attack the stumps and might swing the ball,” Jaffer added.

“We have to see if the management sticks with him in the third ODI otherwise it’s not a bad option to give Sanju Samson a chance because he has played well when given the opportunity and he is a good player,” he said.
