Ind vs Aus ODI’s: Do you think it is injustice to have not picked Sanju Samson?
Mumbai: The Board of Control of Cricket in India announced the squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series versus Australia on Monday night. While the squad was on predicted lines, a few decisions became talking points. For example, the inclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar. But, something that upset fans was the non-selection of Sanju Samson. It is no secret that Samson enjoys a massive fanbase and they get upset when he is not picked. This is not the first time this has happened. Here are some of the reactions of fans:

“Sanju Samson was ignored for the Asia Cup, upcoming Asian Games squad, India versus Australia series, and the World Cup. It’s safe to say that his international career is finished, just like Shikhar Dhawan’s.”#SanjuSamson

Rohit Sharma – Ajit Agarkar – Rahul Dravid is the worst combination happened in Sanju Samson’s career.#INDvsAUS #WorldCup2023

Notably, Ashwin is making a comeback to the Indian ODI side after 20 months. He last played for India in an ODI against South Africa, in January 2022. “It’s all in the head for players like him,” said Rohit when asked if Ashwin’s lack of game time in ODIs will be a concern.
