Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan made a surprise appearance for India C during the Duleep Trophy second round match against India B at Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur.

India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is one of those players, who frequently get overlooked by the selectors.

It remains to be seen if vice-captain and opener Shubman Gill is fit in time for this contest after he missed the second game due to a stiff neck.

Sanju Samson was tried as an opening batter in the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka, but he was dismissed for a golden duck.

Indian cricket team star batter Shubman Gill missed the second T20I encounter against Sri Lanka due to neck spasm on Sunday.

The match will be new head coach Gautam Gambhir's first game in charge of Team India.

With Rishabh Pant's return to Team India's T20I side, Sanju Samson is unlikely to feature in the first T20I against Sri Lanka.

Sanju Samson wasn't picked for India's ODI series against Sri Lanka despite scoring a century in his last 50-over match.

Gautam Gambhir was seen watching players closely and giving some valuable batting tips to wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson.

While Sanju Samson didn't get the nod in India's ODI team, Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad were snubbed for the entire tour.
