Sanju Samson was omitted from the T20I squad for the series against Zimbabwe despite having won the player of the tournament in India's T20 World Cup win. Samson's omission has sparked reactions from fans online, with an old Gautam Gambhir tweet also going viral, where the now India coach had expressed his surprise at Samson's exclusion from the T20I team.
An old tweet by former India cricketer and current head coach Gautam Gambhir has gone viral after Sanju Samson was left out of India's T20I squad for the upcoming three-match series against Zimbabwe. The post, made years before Gambhir took charge of the national team, has resurfaced amid renewed debate over Samson's exclusion.
"It's weird that the only playing eleven Sanju Samson doesn't find a place is that of India, rest almost everyone is ready for him with open arms," Gambhir had tweeted on September 22, 2020.
Gambhir, then was a commentator and cricket analyst, who was in awe after Samson had stroked a magnificent 74 off just 32 balls against CSK.
It has now become a talking point following Samson's latest omission from the national side. Fans have widely shared the tweet across social media, questioning the wicketkeeper-batter's absence.
