    The much-anticipated announcement of the India squad for the ODI World Cup 2023 has sparked heated debates and discussions among cricket enthusiasts. While many expected to see familiar names on the list, it was the exclusion of one particular player that sent shockwaves through the cricketing community – the omission of Sanju Samson.

    Why Sanju Samson Does Not Deserve to Play World Cup 2023: A Closer Look at the Selection Controversy

    The selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, faced a dilemma in choosing a back-up wicketkeeper-batsman for the World Cup. The decision ultimately boiled down to a choice between two promising talents – Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson. In a surprising turn of events, the committee opted for Ishan Kishan, leaving fans puzzled and disappointed.

    One might wonder why this decision has stirred such controversy. After all, Sanju Samson boasts an impressive ODI batting average of 55.7, an enviable figure by any standards. His consistent performances in the 50-over format had many fans and experts touting him as a potential candidate for the national side.

    Sanju Samson, renowned for his explosive batting style and commendable wicket-keeping skills, has been a mercurial figure in Indian cricket. He has shown glimpses of his immense potential during his international appearances, particularly in limited-overs cricket. However, his journey has been marked by inconsistency, preventing him from firmly establishing his place in the team.

    KL Rahul, a versatile cricketer who can perform both as an opener and in the middle order, has been a consistent performer for the Indian team. While he is returning from an injury, his track record speaks for itself. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan, a rising star in Indian cricket, is known for his aggressive batting and adaptability to different formats.

Fans have expressed their surprise and disappointment on various social media platforms, believing that Samson deserved a spot on the grand stage of the World Cup.
