Sanju Samson’s absence from India’s squad for the upcoming ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 left his fans surprised and disappointed. Despite his amazing performances in the domestic circuit and the Indian Premier League 2022, the Indian batter was ignored. The selectors didn’t see him fit for the Indian team going into the T20I World Cup.
Well, many Indian fans and experts questioned Rishabh Pant’s inclusion in the T20 format, owing to his current form. A lot has already been said and written about Sanju in the last few days and now the star batter has finally opened his heart out on the matter. Sanju Samson was recently named as the captain of India A side. While the fans are going gaga about his selection in the Indian squad once again, Sanju isn’t happy about all this.
In a video, which is going crazily viral on social media platforms, Sanju Samson can be seen saying that both Rahul and Pant are a part of his own team and if he competes against them, then he is letting his side down. He said:
“There is so much quality in the team that it is not easy to find a place in the number one team. But at the same time, you also have to think about yourself as well and it is important to be in the right frame of mind and think positively.”
Talking about the ongoing ‘Pant vs Samson’ debate on social media, Sanju said: “These days on media and social media, there’s a lot of talk going on that Sanju Samson should replace KL Rahul. Sanju should replace Rishabh Pant. My thinking is very clear; both KL and Pant play for my own team. If I compete with my own teammates, then I’m letting my country down”.
“So, I just try to stay positive and think that whenever I get the chance, I will work and do it for the team,”
