‘Spare a thought for Samson’: Ex-cricketer reacts to India dropping World Cup hero

Ambati Rayudu defended Sanju Samson after his T20I exclusion, reminding fans of Samson’s T20 World Cup Player of the Tournament award. While welcoming 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s debut, Rayudu emphasized Samson’s recent match-winning contributions. Samson’s omission follows a single low score, sparking debate despite Sooryavanshi’s promising, albeit brief, innings. England leads the series after a victory.
