Now fans have expressed their reaction to it.
This player had no chance
For the series against Australia, selectors Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya were rested for the first two games. Rituraj Gaikwad, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin were selected in their place. But Sanju Samson has no place. Samson didn’t even feature in the Asian Cup and is also not part of the Indian team for the 2023 Asian Games.
Played 13 ODI matches for India
Sanju Samson made his debut for Team India in July 2021. He had debuted in T20 only 8 years ago. He has scored 390 runs in 13 ODI matches for India at an average of 55 and a strike rate of 104.
