Sanju Is Coming Back, See You Again: Not a single day goes by where Sanju Samson’s name is not discussed among Indian cricket fans. Sanju is one of those names who are constantly getting dropped despite performing well.
When the player got a place in the team for India’s tour of New Zealand, all the fans had hoped that Sanju would be able to play every match. But in the six matches played in both series, Sanju was included in the playing eleven only for one match.
Captains and selectors alike backed Rishabh Pant, who has consistently underperformed. Although many advocated for Sanju, the management continued to support Pant.
After the ODI series against New Zealand, the Indian team has returned home. They are preparing for the series against Bangladesh as Rishabh Pant and other players are included.
Sanju was not included in the squad for India’s tour of Bangladesh.
After this, the actor is clarifying that he is returning to his native land. The post shared by the actor through social media is getting full support from the fans.
Fans say come back soon and everyone will clap for you tomorrow.
Meanwhile, India had lost the ODI series on India’s tour of New Zealand. The third match of the series was also rained out and the Kiwis won 1-0.
India tried Rishabh Pant in the role of wicket-keeper batsman throughout the series. All this time the Pant vs Sanju debate was raging outside.
Former Indian chief selector Chris Srikkanth and former players like Ashish Nehra, Murali Karthik, and many other superstars advocated for Sanju, while the board and selectors stood by Pant.
Pant failed in all but one of India’s tours of New Zealand and proved once again that he is not suited to the limited over format.
Sanju got a chance in only one match of the series. Sanju made good use of the opportunity and had a great partnership with Shreyas Iyer.
Even after putting out a good performance, the team benched Sanju and gave another chance to the flopped ball.
Captain Shikhar Dhawan said that Sanju is a great player but they intend to support Pant.
“To know who a match winner is, you have to look at a larger canvas and understand that picture. You have to do the analysis. Your decision should be based on that.
Sanju definitely gave a great performance. Sanju is playing well at every opportunity he gets.
But you may have to wait for opportunities. Because he (Rishabh Pant) had performed well. We know what his skills are as a match-winner. That’s why we need to support him when he performs poorly,’ said Dhawan.
