Rajasthan Royal skipper and wicket keeper batsman Sanju Samson has finally sealed his ticket to USA as he has been selected at the expense of KL Rahul in India's T20 World Cup squad 2024. 

Sanju Samson will be alongside Rishabh Pant as one of the two wicket keepers that will be travelling to USA. 

Sanju Samson has had a fantastic IPL 2024 campaign in which he has led the Rajasthan Royals exceptionally well to take them to eight wins in nine matches as they sit pretty at the top of the IPL standings. Not only that, Sanju Samson has scored 385 runs with a strike rate of 161 in nine matches and has been one of the top performers with the bat this IPL season. 

This will mark the first time Sanju Samson will be in India's World Cup main squad.
