These days, there is a lot of uproar from social media to sports corridors regarding the selection and playing eleven strategies of the Indian cricket team. Recently, a well-known former veteran player has given such a statement regarding the squad and combination of Team India which has given sleepless nights to the selectors and team management. This veteran has openly said that the career of young and talented wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson is being ruined by continuously keeping him out of the team and he is being made a scapegoat every time without any reason. While giving advice to the Indian team management, he has even said that if young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has to be included in the playing eleven, then opener Abhishek Sharma should be dropped instead of Sanju Samson. Since this sharp statement came to light, a debate has once again erupted among Indian cricket fans and cricket pundits on whether justice is being done in the selection of players in the team or senior players are being discriminated against. Let us know the whole story of this entire controversy and this shocking statement of the veteran cricketer.
Sanju Samson is considered to be one of those unfortunate players of Indian cricket who despite proving his ability, does not get continuous opportunities for a long time. Whenever there is a period of change in Team India, Sanju Samson is the first one to be shown the way out of the playing eleven. This senior veteran clearly said in his response that Sanju is a match-winning player who has the ability to score runs quickly at any position from upper order to middle order. Despite this, sometimes he is made to sit on the bench and sometimes he is dropped in the middle of the series. The former player taunted that it seems as if every failure or change in combination is blamed solely on Sanju Samson, which is completely unfair and unfair to the game of cricket.
On the other hand, discussions are also in full swing regarding the young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has created a stir in domestic cricket and at the Under-19 level. There is a continuous demand for the inclusion of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the Indian team, who attracted the attention of the whole world with his explosive batting at a young age. In this context, the veteran player expressed the opinion that if the selectors have to try Vaibhav in the playing eleven, then some other player should be sacrificed for him. He said that in the recent matches, the performance of opener Abhishek Sharma has not been as stable as expected and he is constantly losing his wickets while playing big shots. In such a situation, if it is necessary to make a change in the team combination, then it would be a wise step to keep Abhishek Sharma out for some time and give a chance to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and not to sacrifice Sanju Samson.
The pair of head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain of the Indian cricket team is often known for their aggressive and bold decisions. In such a situation, after this open statement of this former legend, the pressure on the team management has increased further. Keeping in mind the upcoming series and important tours, it is very important to decide how to balance the playing eleven. On one hand, there is a competition to groom young players, while on the other hand, ignoring an experienced and talented player like Sanju Samson can cause dissatisfaction within the team. Fans have openly come out in support of Sanju on social media and are demanding that he should get adequate opportunities continuously. It will be very interesting to see what the stance of the selectors is in the coming days.
