‘It cannot happen’: Ex-India cricketer rules out Sooryavanshi replacing Samson

After lackluster performances in the T20I series against the West Indies, Sanju Samson is under fire from critics. Aakash Chopra advises against dropping him for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, asserting that Samson’s previous accomplishments merit further chances. Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar Reddy’s entry into the squad is debated but seems unlikely imminently. The talks surrounding India’s opening combination will likely persist as long as performance concerns remain.
