The Indian cricket team named their 15-player roster for the trip to Australia for the T20 World Cup, however Sanju Samson was left off.
Sanju Samson was not selected for the home series against South Africa and Australia.
The decision has angered fans, who have posted their complaints on social media.
Sanju Samson has been in and out of the team many times over his career. He is a skilled hitter who has found it challenging to earn a berth in the regular Indian Squad despite several strong showings and a strong IPL season.
Fans of the Indian cricket team are vocalising their disappointment on Twitter about his exclusion, despite the fact that he has done well in the opportunities he has had this year.
In light of Samson’s failure to qualify for the T20I World Cup, let’s examine how he might have helped India in the multi-nation competition.
Sanju Samson might have provided India’s wicketkeeper-batsman problem with a solution. The Indian selectors have chosen wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant for their team.
In a few games earlier this year, Ishan Kishan was chosen as Samson’s backup wicketkeeper. But recently in T20s, neither Pant nor Kishan have performed well. Samson serving as India’s backup wicketkeeper would have been a more dependable choice. He might have been the solution to India’s middle-order problems, which resurfaced during the recently finished Asia Cup.
KL Recently, Rahul has not been India’s most reliable opener. He has had trouble keeping his form. During the games against Ireland, Samson had a few chances to open, and he made the most of them.
Samson opened for India against Ireland and hit a fast 42-ball 77 with a strike rate of 183, helping India reach a huge total of 225. He would have made a suitable opening partner for Rohit Sharma.
