Ind vs NZ: Sanju Samson dropped from the third match, Shashi Tharoor got angry, raised questions on Team India's strategy

Indian cricket team's wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson was not included in the Indian playing XI for the third ODI against New Zealand. After Sanju Samson was not given a place in the playing eleven, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor raised questions on the Indian team's strategy as well as selection in a tweet.

 

In his tweet, Shashi Tharoor quoted Indian team's stand-in coach VVS Laxman's statement and wrote that Rishabh Pant has done well at number 4, so the team will fully support him. Tharoor further wrote that Rishabh Pant is a good player, but he has not been able to score runs in 10 of his last 11 innings. Whereas Sanju Samson has an average of 66 in ODIs. He has scored consistently in the last five innings, but he is waiting on the bench. In such a situation, these things need to be taken care of.

 

Let us tell you that Sanju Samson was given a chance to play in the first match of the three-match ODI series in which he scored 36 runs in 38 balls. At the same time, he was not included in the playing eleven in the second and third ODIs. Even in the three-match T20 series before the ODI series, he was not given a chance in the second and third matches and was seen waiting. Sanju has so far scored 330 runs in 10 innings of 11 matches for India at an average of 66.00, including 2 half-centuries, while his best score has been 86 not out.
