Politician Shahi Taroor and former Indian cricketer are some among the people who slammed the selectors for snubbing Sanju Samson yet again despite their great performance in his last games.
Taroor and Ganesh Slams Selectors for Samson Snub
Tharoor is also displeased with Abhishek Sharma not getting selected for any format even after a terrific century in the last Zimbabwe T20I series
“Interesting squad selection for India’s tour of Sri Lanka later this month. @IamSanjuSamson, who hit a century in his last ODI, has not been picked for ODIs, while @IamAbhiSharma4, who hit a T20I century in the #INDvZIM series, has not been picked at all. Rarely has success in India colours mattered so little to the selectors! Good luck to the team anyway.”
Dodda Ganesh called the Samson Sub over Shivam Dube ‘ridiculous’. He said he feels for the ‘poor young man’ Sanju as even scoring a century in difficult situations didn’t make the selectors look into him
“Shivam Dube in place of Sanju Samson in the ODIs is ridiculous. Poor Sanju scored a century in his last series against SA. Why him always? My heart goes out to this young man #SLvIND”
Sanju Samson’s last ODI was against South Africa and when all the Indian batters fumbled and went back to the pavilion quickly, Sanju Samson stood in the crease and scored a mature century (108/114) to give India a much-needed win.
His last T20I was in the recently folded-up Zimbabwe series. Samson again went on to score a match-winning innings (58/44) )when India were three down at 43. Samson was also in terrific form in the IPL taking Rajasthan Royals into the qualifiers.
