Can play in place of Rahul
Currently, Sanju Samson is the stand-by player in India’s Asia Cup team. Sanju is a backup to the wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, who has recovered from his injury but is still unable to reach full fitness. Due to this, if Rahul is not available for selection, Saba Karim says that Sanju will be included in the ODI World Cup team.
The former Indian player says that Sanju was selected as a standby player in the Asia Cup because he is being considered for the World Cup team and if Rahul fails to reach full fitness before the World Cup, Sanju will be selected for the team instead. In the past, India has played in ICC tournaments by bringing in replacements for injured players. If such a twist happens this time, it is believed that Sanju will play the World Cup.
Rahul’s case is uncertain
At the same time, KL Rahul was injured while playing in the recent IPL. Lucknow Super Giants captain Fielding was injured in the thigh. Due to this, the player was out of the field since May. Rahul returned to the field after recovering from an injury earlier this month, but there are indications that he is not fully fit. There are reports that the player may miss the first two matches of the Asia Cup due to this. Rahul can play for India only if the injury is completely cured. Otherwise the player will not be considered for India’s World Cup team

Twenty-eight-year-old Sanju Samson has the best record in ODIs despite having played only a few matches. This young wicket keeper batsman played 13 ODIs for India. In this, he scored 390 runs at a batting average of 55.71. Sanju scored 104.00 runs in ODIs.
