Sanju Samson has been a player of promise since his international debut in 2015, particularly excelling in ODIs with 510 runs to his name, which includes a century and three fifties.
Digital Desk: Former Indian cricketer Dodda Ganesh has expressed concern over the decision to exclude Sanju Samson from the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka starting on August 2.
Dodda, along with other former cricketers, has criticized the selectors for their choices in the recent squad announcements. This includes surprise inclusions like Riyan Parag and Shivam Dube in the ODI squad, as well as the appointment of Shubman Gill as vice-captain for the white-ball teams. Additionally, the omission of Ruturaj Gaikwad from both squads has raised eyebrows.
Ganesh specifically questioned the preference of Shivam Dube over Sanju Samson in the ODI squad, despite Samson's inclusion in the T20I series. He took to social media to express sympathy for Samson, emphasizing that the decision seemed unjustified, especially given Samson's recent standout performances. Ganesh highlighted Samson's century against South Africa in the last ODI series and his consistent contributions, making a case for his inclusion based on merit.
Sanju Samson has been a player of promise since his international debut in 2015, particularly excelling in ODIs with 510 runs to his name, which includes a century and three fifties. His impressive average of 56.66 and a strike rate of 99.60 in 14 innings underline his capability in the format.
