Ishan Kishan's wicketkeeping role raises fresh questions over Sanju Samson's India future

Ishan Kishan made his comeback for the Indian national squad during the fourth T20I fixture against New Zealand, instantly taking over wicketkeeping responsibilities after recovering from an adductor issue. This deployment pushed Sanju Samson to play merely as a specialist batter and cast doubt regarding his long-term prospects within the setup, especially after Jacob Duffy claimed early dismissals of both Samson for four runs and Kishan for a duck.

New Zealand ultimately triumphed by an 87-run margin while chasing a target of 260.
