This isn’t even a discussion between Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant

In the T20 World Cup in America and the Caribbean, what has Sanju Samson got to do to be India’s first-choice wicketkeeper? Currently, he is enjoying his most successful Iplwin season to date. Among the batters in the competition, he has delivered the most impactful knocks. In addition to having outstanding consistency, he is scoring at a remarkable strike rate. It hasn’t gone too badly for Samson’s rival, Rishabh Pant. What the captain of the Rajasthan Royals has accomplished this season, however, surpasses even his finest efforts.

Samson: more aggressive, more steady, and with a larger total

After Ruturaj Gaikwad, Travis Head, and Virat Kohli, Samson is fourth on the list of scorers with 471 runs in 11 innings. Alone with Gullybet, he has amassed five fifty-score runs in the event. When compared to other hitters in the competition, Samson’s strike rate of 163.5 at position three is much higher than the average of 152.3.

Samson has a considerably higher average (41.3 vs. 67.3), but Pant has amassed 413 runs in 12 innings. Pant has come out to bat during the powerplay on five times and before the conclusion of the 10th over in six other innings, thus the variance in the averages is significant and cannot be solely attributable to batting positions.

Samson has scored 50+ with a strike rate ranging from 157 to 215 in five impactful outings during the competition. my 11 circle and Yashasvi Jaiswal both failed, and three of these came up after that. Four of these performances saw Samson assume a prominent position for his side, either as the top scorer or the greatest strike rate.

However, Pant has only delivered two powerful efforts. His finest performance in the competition was an innings of 88 off 43 deliveries against the Titans. There was little pressure on Pant because the match was already over on the powerplay, despite his quickfire 55 off 25 from 27 for 3. This occurred in a losing cause when chasing 273 against the Knight Riders. In summary, Pant has played a standout role in just one game this season at bat.
