IND vs IRE LIVE: Sanju Samson likely to replace Ruturaj Gaikwad in Indian Playing XI for 2nd T20, CHECK Why?
Fans Unhappy on Samson’s omission in 1st T20: Stand-in-captain Hardik Pandya was slammed by quite a few fans for not giving Samson a chance against Ireland in the 1st T20.
It was questioned on whether it was correct to draft Deepak Hooda in XI, when experienced player like Samson is warming the bench.
First Hooda answered the critics with his SUPER-BATTING performance and then Pandya’s IPL Team coach Ashish Nehra defended the decision.
“No, it’s not a tough call at all.
Sanju Samson and Rahul Tripathi have come in place of Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. Deepak Hooda was already in the squad. Even Venkatesh Iyer didn’t play a match against South Africa. And the kind of performance Deepak Hooda put in the IPL and in the Ranji Trophy, the whole season he scored runs, then in the IPL also. He certainly deserved a chance” he said in a pre-match show on Sonyliv.
