After Sanju, who was not considered for the T20 World Cup squad, was selected for the New Zealand tour squad. The management, who dropped Sanju in every game in the T20 series, gave him a chance in the first ODI. Despite his good performance in this match, he was not considered for the playing eleven in the last two ODIs.
Team India dropped Sanju in the third ODI as well, leaving the fans in shock. Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor also did not like this move of Team India. He reacted against this through Twitter. In his tweet, Tharoor recalled that Pant is a good player but has failed in 10 of his last 11 innings, pointing out that Sanju has a batting average of 66 in ODIs and has scored runs in his last 5 games. It is clear from his tweet that Shashi Tharoor is also upset that Sanju is being ignored again and again.
Rishabh Pant gets a chance because of this; Coach says no one ignores SanjuPant, who is going through a miserable form, got out after scoring 10 runs in 16 balls in the third ODI. With this, Tharoor came up with the next tweet. Ball has yet another failure and he definitely needs a break from white ball matches. Sanju Samson is denied yet another chance. He will have to wait till IPL to show he is the best,” Tharoor tweeted.
At the same time, Shashi Tharoor’s tweet went viral, supporting Sanju and asking Pant to take a break from the team. All cricket lovers have come out in support of Tharoor’s tweet.
Pant Vs Sanju
Looking at recent performances, Rishabh Pant can’t be compared to the seventh floor of India’s white ball teams. The player deserves a place only in the test. His case in T20 cricket is very pathetic. Ball has scored 865 runs at a batting average of 34.60 from 30 ODIs and 987 runs at a batting average of 22.43 from 66 T20 matches. Sanju, on the other hand, has scored 330 runs at a batting average of 66.00 in 11 ODIs and 296 runs at a batting average of 21.14 in 16 T20Is.
