Pujara: T20 Consistency Overrated, Backs Samson

Cheteshwar Pujara has argued that top-order consistency is not a priority in T20 cricket, suggesting that occasional failures are expected in the format. He maintains that Sanju Samson remains a high-quality player whose form can be restored through a single impactful performance, a view supported by Abhishek Nayar.

Regarding the upcoming tour of New Zealand, Pujara expressed skepticism about fielding both Samson and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi simultaneously. He believes the team will prioritize all-rounders to ensure proper balance in those conditions, likely limiting opportunities for both batters to start together.

India enters this series following a 2-2 draw in their recent five-match T20I series against the West Indies.
