World Cup 2023 Sanju Samson will be x factor in Vishwa Cup says Mohammad Kaif

The absence of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul due to injuries gave opportunities to players like Samson and Suryakumar. Suryakumar could not perform well in the West Indies. The Indian batting has slowed down in the middle order and Kaif feels Samson can solve the problem. He said, ‘I am very impressed with Samson. He played impressive innings at number four or five. They have done this in the past.
Kaif is not in favor of playing Ishan Kishan and Akshar Patel in the middle order, saying, ‘It is not a good idea. You need a player who can play left arm spin, leg spin and Samson can do that. He played under pressure in the third ODI and is ready for the World Cup. All eyes will be on Jasprit Bumrah to lead the team in the T20I series in Ireland.
This will be his comeback series after being out of action for almost a year due to a back injury. Kaif believes that India will struggle without Bumrah in the knockout matches, as happened in the T20 World Cup in Australia last year. He said, ‘India’s chances in the World Cup will depend on the return of injured players. Bumrah is making a comeback after a long injury and we will find out how fit he is. India needs a fully fit Bumrah for the World Cup.
