India face a major selection dilemma ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash against South Africa, with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson in contention.
Abhishek Sharma has struggled badly in the tournament, registering three consecutive ducks against USA, Pakistan, and the Netherlands.
Sanju Samson is pushing for a comeback, but his recent T20I form is also a concern, scoring just 46 runs in five innings against New Zealand.
Abhishek Sharma’s aggressive batting and left-handed advantage make him valuable, especially against South Africa’s strong pace attack.
Sanju Samson’s experience and ability against fast bowling make him a reliable alternative if India decides to make a change.
India are likely to give Abhishek Sharma another chance, but Sanju Samson remains ready if the team opts for a different approach.
