Sanju Samson made a comeback in the squad for the Bangladesh T20I series after he gave some spectacular performances in domestic cricket this year. However, he wasn’t given a chance to perform in the series as Rishabh Pant was given preference over him.
Despite Rishabh Pant receiving criticism over his wicket-keeping and not delivering too many runs with the bat, he has been getting opportunities. Once again, Pant was preferred over Sanju Samson for the series against West Indies.
Reacting to this, Sanju Samson took to his twitter and made a cryptic tweet by posting a smiling emoticon. Here, check out his tweet:

Though he didn’t say much in his tweet, but twitterati sensed what Samson was really implying with his tweet. Twitterati sent their support out to the dejected cricketer in the most desi way possible.
Here, have a look at the reaction of twitterati on this:
