Ahead of the T20 World Cup in America, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has expressed his support for Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson. India are expected to announce their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup later this week and Tharoor has reiterated his support for Samson, who he says should be selected by the selectors. This is not the first time that Tharoor has come out openly in support of Samson over the lack of opportunities given by the Indian selectors.
Tharoor once again reiterated that Samson does not get enough support from the selectors, and expressed his displeasure at the lack of attention given to the wicketkeeper.
“Happy to agree with my fellow MP Harbhajan Singh on both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson. It has been argued for years that Sanju did not get the selective break he deserved. He is now the leading keeper-batsman in the IPL but right now This has also not been discussed. Justice for Sanju!” Tharoor wrote while re-sharing a tweet by former India spinner Harbhajan, who had also advocated for Samson’s selection. .
Glad to agree with my fellow MP @harbhajan_singh at both @ybj_19 And @IamSanjuSamson , It has been argued for years that Sanju did not get the selective break he deserved. Now he is the leading keeper-batsman @IPL But even when there is debate on the team, it is not discussed…. https://t.co/ZaqVHMIpTT

There has been a lot of discussion about India’s wicketkeeper for the tournament, which includes players like Rishabh Pant, Samson, KL Rahul and Dinesh Karthik.
However, considering his recent form, Samson fits the bill. He has scored 314 runs at an average of 62.80 in just eight matches so far in IPL 2024. His scores are 82*, 15, 12, 69, 68, 18, 12 and 38 not out.
They need just 48 runs to equal last season’s tally (362) with six games left in the group stage. RR are currently on top with 12 points out of a possible 16 and can seal their place in the playoffs if they win their next two matches.
India’s probable team and travel reserves:
Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi. , Jasprit Bumrah, Md. Siraj, Arshdeep Singh & Avesh Khan
