Samson had a poor Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well and when all the first-choice players are available, he hasn't been able to make the cut and will take a big IPL season for him to come back

Ishan Kishan had a poor last 12 innings in T20Is before the half-century in the series opener against Australia and is likely to hold on to his spot for the South Africa series
