Sanju Samson in T20 World Cup 2022

Earlier, Sanju Samson’s absence from the Indian T20 World Cup team for 2022, however, did not sit well with his fans, who had expected the wicketkeeper-batter to be a member of the team given his strong performance in the white-ball format over the previous two years.

Fans were quite upset after not seeing his name on the squad on Monday when the T20 World Cup list was published. However, the BCCI chose Sanju Samson to lead the India A team for the next ODI series against New Zealand A, which received mixed reactions from the fans.

This year, he has participated in 6 T20Is and scored 179 runs at an average of 44.75. He also has one of the top strike rates for India this year at 158.40.

In the recent tours, Samson received a lot of encouragement from the spectators in Ireland, the West Indies, and Zimbabwe. He was regarded as one of the most adored players on the squad.

Fans can watch the live telecast of the 1st ODI at Star Sports Network. While the live streaming of the match will be available to watch on Disney+Hotsar app.
