Sanju Samson 12th Player: Wicketkeeper-batsman and the hero of the match against Oman, Sanju Samson could be India's 12th player. Yes, this doesn't mean he's excluded from India's playing XI. Samson will definitely be in the Indian playing XI for the Super-4 match against Pakistan. Here, being the 12th player means he'll be included in the list of Indian players who have scored more than 1,000 runs in T20 Internationals. So far, 11 Indian players have been included in that list, and Sanju Samson could become the 12th player.

Check out the names of these 11 players before the match against Pakistan.

First, let's take a look at the names of these 11 Indian players and their runs scored in T20 Internationals. Rohit Sharma tops the list of Indian players with the most runs in T20 Internationals, with 4,231 runs. Rohit is followed by Virat Kohli with 4,188 runs. Both players have now retired from T20Is.

India's T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has 2,652 runs and is third on the list. KL Rahul, with 2,265 runs so far, is fourth. Hardik Pandya, with 1,813 runs, is fifth on the list of 11 players. Shikhar Dhawan has 1,759 runs, and MS Dhoni has 1,617 runs. Suresh Raina is eighth on the list with 1,605 runs. Rishabh Pant is ninth with 1,209 runs. While Yuvraj Singh (1177 runs) and Shreyas Iyer (1104 runs) are in 10th and 11th place, respectively.

Sanju Samson will be the 12th player!

Sanju Samson could be the 12th player to join this list of 11 Indian players. However, to do so, he will need to score 83 runs against Pakistan in the first Super Four match. Sanju Samson has scored 917 runs in 39 innings across 45 T20Is. It would be a great thing if Sanju Samson achieves this feat in a Super Four match against Pakistan. However, even if that doesn't happen, he still has a chance to achieve it in the 2025 Asia Cup.
