Sanju could not play a single match in the World Cup. Now Sanju Samson has made a big revelation about captain Rohit Sharma.
Sanju wanted to play the final..!
Sanju Samson was a part of Team India's squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 but he spent the entire tournament on the bench. Now Sanju Samson while talking on a podcast said, “I got a chance to play the final. I was told to be ready and I was ready. But before the toss he decided to stick with the same eleven. During the warm-up, Rohit took me aside to explain the decision. He asked, 'Do you understand?'
Rohit Sharma felt sad
Sanju further said that after some time Rohit Sharma came to me and said, I know you are explaining to me in your mind. I told him that I want to play as a player. It was my dream to perform in such moments.
In the final also, Rohit Sharma decided to take the field with the playing eleven of the previous match. Although Sanju could have got a chance in place of Rishabh Pant in the final match, but it did not happen and Pant proved to be a flop in the final match. In this match, Pant was out without opening the account.
