IND vs NZ: Fans Are Slamming BCCI For Ignoring Sanju Samson Yet Again In 3rd T20I

Jatin KhandelwalBy Jatin Khandelwal22/11/2022Updated:08/02/2023No Comments4 Mins Read

It has pained many Indian fans that Sanju Samson has yet again been ignored by the team management. Fans took to Twitter to express their anger and frustrations and disappointments with the team management after the Rajasthan Royals captain was not selected for the third T20I against New Zealand on Tuesday, played at McLean Park in Napier.

Samson has surprisingly been omitted from the playing XIs of this series where the seniors are rested and the management should have looked to give opportunities to the players who they feel could be part of the 2024 T20 World Cup squad.

After the first T20I was washed out, India won the second T20I on the back of Suryakumar Yadav’s century. Samson was benched then with the likes of Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, and Deepak Hooda playing the match – the trio registered scores of 6 (13), 36 (31), and 0 (1) and were retained for the third T20I, consigning Samson to the bench again. Pant and Kishan opened the innings while Hooda was used at number 6, an out-of-position for him.

Sanju Samson has had a good year in T20Is with the Indian team – in 5 T20I innings in 2022, Sanju Samson has scored 179 runs at an average of 44 and, importantly, a strike rate of 158 – but despite this, the management stuck with Pant, who now has 5 straight single-digit scores in professional outings, and Kishan, whose strike rate has been under criticism this year.

Unsurprisingly, netizens blasted the team management for excluding Sanju Samson from the eleven from the third T20I:

Samson Leave India Asap And Join Other Boards , These Clowns @BCCI Won’t Give You Chances, They’re Just Wasting Your Talent And Your Skills , Better Play For Some Other Board

India may win this bilateral series, but they have lost the respect of entire nation by not giving chances to players like Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill and Umran Malik.

Keep winning the bilaterals against NZ! We are not proud of you.#INDvsNZ#NZvsIND

Sanju Samson is from Kerala so he is an easy target for them. He don’t hv any lobby like Pant and Shreyas Iyer in BCCI. No Quota. Do you ICT fans think that he would hv been mistreated in the same way if he was from Mumbai or Delhi? BCCI is a RACIST organization #INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/d6G3dNPSDX

No Sanju Samson, No logic. New Era but same old treatment for him.#NZvIND #NZvsIND #SportsYaari

— Manoj Dimri (@manoj_dimri) November 22, 2022

 

Again there’s no place for Sanju Samson in the playing 11.

India still going with Rishabh Pant. #INDvsNZ #SanjuSamson pic.twitter.com/vmBRZexXc0
