Sanju Samson Fails to Impress in T20I Against Afghanistan

Sanju Samson's return to the T20I side got off to a disappointing start as he was dismissed for just 10 runs off eight balls against Afghanistan in the first T20I in New Delhi on Sunday.

The Indian wicket-keeper and opener batsman was preferred over 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was left out despite being named Player of the Series after scoring 151 runs in the recent Zimbabwe series.

Captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Gautam Gambhir chose Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open, meaning Sooryavanshi will have to wait for his first international appearance on home soil.

The internet users were quick to react and demand Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's return to the squad after the disappointing performance from Sanju Samson. Many users expressed their disappointment and frustration with the team management's decision to drop Sooryavanshi.

One user said that it was a shameful selection by the Indian team management, and that Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma both flopped on difficult pitches, while Vaibhav Sooryavanshi performed much better than them.

Another user stated that it was a shame that Sanju Samson was playing ahead of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and that the captain was jealous of Sooryavanshi's success.

The user further stated that the management gives chances to players like Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma on Indian flat pitches so they can score some runs, and that the whole lobby is working against Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

Many users called for Sanju Samson to be dropped and for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to be given a chance in the upcoming matches.

The reaction from the fans highlights the controversy and debate surrounding the team selection, and the pressure on the team management to make changes and give opportunities to young and talented players like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

The Indian team will look to bounce back from this disappointment and perform better in the upcoming matches.

The controversy surrounding Sanju Samson's selection and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's exclusion is a reminder of the challenges and pressures faced by the Indian team management in selecting the best team and giving opportunities to young players.

In the end, the team's performance will be the ultimate judge of the selection decisions, and the fans will be hoping for a better show from the team in the upcoming matches.
