Why Sanju Samson did not get batting (photo-PTI)

Sanju samson controversy: Sometimes you have to become a clown for the team, you cannot always be a hero… Before the match against Bangladesh, Sanju Samson said this alphaz during a conversation with Sanjay Manjrekar and the interesting thing is that Team India made him the right to Joker in this match. That is because the Indian team scored 168 runs in 20 overs against Bangladesh, a total of 6 wickets fell and Sanju Samson was not given a chance to bat. It seemed that Sanju Samson disappeared from the match itself. It seemed that Gautam Gambhir had forgotten to send him for batting. The question is why Sanju Samson was not sent for batting,

Gautam Gambhir reversed the full batting order

Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill opened the opening, both added 77 runs for the first wicket. Till all was well, but when the first wicket fell, everyone was surprised. That is because Shivam Dubey was sent for batting after Shubman Gill was dismissed. This player was dismissed for just 2 runs. Hardik Pandya also came to batting before Sanju Samson. After this, Tilak Verma and then Akshar Patel were sent for batting. Sanju Samson scored 56 runs against Oman and scored the Player of the Match but did not give him a chance to batting against Bangladesh.

Fans are raising questions on this decision of Gambhir. The first thing is that Sanju Samson was removed from the opening and done in the middle order and now the extent is that he was not sent to bat.

Sanju Samson Never Got One Batting Position Despite Hitting 3 Kenturies in Span of 5 matches including 2 in South Africa.

Shame on Gautam Gambhir for Systematically Desroying Samson's Career. Even in odis he selected pant with 33 Odi avg over samson with 56 Odie Avg. pic.twitter.com/n6pzao1x6Q

Team India's batting fail

Sanju Samson was not sent for batting and the batsmen who went to the crease failed badly. Let us tell you that Shivam Dubey, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma and Akshar Patel, all four could not put a single boundary. These four together could add only 22 runs in 36 balls. In the last 7 overs, Team India did not hit a single six. In the last 9 overs, Team India scored only 56 runs.
