‘Lifetime subscription to pressure’: Ex-cricketer’s blunt defence of Sanju Samson

Aakash Chopra has raised concerns about Sanju Samson’s continued exclusion from the ODI squad. Despite impressive ODI statistics, Samson was overlooked for the New Zealand series. Chopra highlighted that multiple other wicketkeeper-batters were not selected either, indicating a possible decision on Samson’s future. He compared performance metrics between Samson and other T20I players to support his point. This scrutiny comes as discussions around Samson’s place in the team continue.
