The second ODI of the three match ODI series between India and New Zealand is being played at Sidon Park in Hamilton. In this match, India’s goalkeeper batsman, Sanju Samson, has been knocked out of the starting eleven. Deepak Hooda has been included in this match instead of Sanju. At the same time, after Sanju, the fans on Twitter got very angry. He has fiercely targeted Team India, BCCI and Rishabh Pant for Sanju’s expulsion.
India batsman and goalkeeper Sanju Samson has been dropped from the playing XI even after a strong performance. A useful innings of 36 runs was also played in Sanj’s first ODI. He shared an 80+ run partnership with Shreyas Iyer, on the basis of which India was able to score over 300. But even after this performance, he has been dropped from the team. The Indian team have included Deepak Hooda in place of Sanju Samson in the second ODI.
The Indian team have given another chance to Rishabh Pant who is battling with a bad face. He has been included in the playing eleven for the second ODI. Rishabh Pant has been struggling with poor form for a long time. Fans are constantly talking about cutting him off the team and giving Sanju a chance. If we look at Pant’s last five innings, he has scored 6,3,6,11,15 runs in the last five innings. Looking at his performance in T20 in the year 2022, he has scored 364 runs in 21 innings this year at an average of just 21.21. Pant’s poor form remains a big concern for the India team.
