There is a player known as Sanju Samson in Kerala.Please look his first class stats. Please watch his latest 200 knock
He can open , bat at no3, no4 etc. Also a wicket keeper
Indian Selectors, I beg you@IamSanjuSamson#SanjuSamson
Sanju Samson didn’t have a List-A hundred for the longest time...the day he gets it, he makes it a double. That’s an incredible feat. A Double-Ton in a 50-over cricket takes some doing....well played 👏👏
