Sanju Samson: Team India's star wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has often been in and out of the team. Even if he performs well, he is dropped from Team India.
In such a situation, the chief selector of the Indian cricket team Ajit Agarkar has shown him the way out of another tournament. It seems that Agarkar is taking out some past life enmity with him and is not selecting him in the team.
Actually, Sanju has always been in and out of Team India and now he has been shown the way out not only from India but also from domestic tournaments. Let us tell you that Sanju has not got a place in the Rest of India team for the Irani Cup 2024.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Rest of India team on Tuesday and Samson could not make it to that team. Similarly, he is always dropped from Team India and is called back to the team when needed.
Sanju Samson was not selected in the first team even in the recently concluded Duleep Trophy 2024. However, when young wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan got injured and was ruled out of the first match, Sanju was included in the team in his place.
Samson was included in India 'D' after Ishan got injured but he could not perform well. In such a situation, it is beyond comprehension to exclude him from the Irani Cup because despite some players continuously failing, he has been given a chance in the team.
If we talk about the Irani Cup, on one hand the Rest of India team participates in it, while on the other hand the winning team of the Ranji Trophy takes part in it. Mumbai won the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 and that is why this match will be played between these two teams.
On one hand, Mumbai will be captained by veteran batsman Ajinkya Rahane, while Rest of India will be led by young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad.
