[IND vs AUS] Shashi Tharoor Questions Sanju Samson's And Chahal's Exclusion

The Indian fans were left in shock as India suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia in Ahmedabad on November 19. Despite winning all 10 games leading up to the final, the Indian team faced an unexpected setback. However, with the resilience that defines the spirit of Indian cricket, the focus now shifts to the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024.

Just two days after the devastating loss, India is already gearing up for the T20 World Cup 2024, scheduled for June. The first step in this journey involves a 5-game T20 series against Australia, and the battleground is set in Vizag. Under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian team is ready to showcase its prowess with a mix of experienced players and emerging talents.

Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to field first, setting the tone for an intense series. The selection choices for the series have not been without controversy. The exclusion of Sanju Samson, a player with a proven track record and captaincy experience with both Kerala and the Rajasthan Royals, has sparked debates within the cricketing community. In a tweet, Shashi Tharoor, a Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram, expressed his disbelief, stating that Sanju Samson should not only have been selected but should also have led the side in the absence of senior players.

Additionally, the absence of Yuzvendra Chahal, the highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is, has further fueled discussions. The seasoned leg-spinner’s exclusion leaves a void in the bowling attack, and fans and experts alike are questioning the selectors’ decisions.

Shashi Tharoor, known for his articulate expressions, took to social media to voice his concerns. He questioned the selectors, demanding an explanation for the choices made. In his tweet, he highlighted Sanju Samson’s recent captaincy experience, emphasising that it surpasses the leadership credentials of the current captain, Suryakumar Yadav.

The cricket-loving public resonated with Tharoor’s sentiments, expressing their disappointment and seeking transparency in the selection process. The debate adds an intriguing layer to the series, with fans eagerly awaiting the performance of the chosen squad and the selectors’ response to the growing scrutiny.

This is truly inexplicable. @IamSanjuSamson should have not just been selected, he should have led the side in the absence of all the seniors.
