The Indian cricket team has been announced for the Sri Lanka tour starting from 27th July. On this tour, 3 T20 and as many ODI matches will be played between the two teams. New head coach Gautam Gambhir will also take charge of the team from this tour. Many surprising decisions have been seen in the team selected for both these series. Gautam Gambhir has not given a place in the squad for the ODI series to a player whom he was once calling the best batsman.
Gautam Gambhir's 4 year old tweet goes viral
BCCI has selected different captains for both these series. Suryakumar Yadav has been given the command of the T20 team, while Rohit Sharma will be the captain of the ODI team. But wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has not been selected in the team for the ODI series to be played on this tour. His recent performance has been very good, despite this he has missed out on making his place in the ODI team. Let us tell you, in the year 2020, Gautam Gambhir had tweeted in support of Sanju. In that tweet, he had said that Sanju Samson is not only the best wicketkeeper batsman in India but he is the best young batsman in India. Would anyone like to debate? That is, at that time he had raised his voice to get Sanju a place in the team, but now Gambhir has not given him a place in the team.
Sanju Samson is not just the best wicketkeeper batsmen in India but the best young batsman in India!

Anyone up for debate?
He scored a century in the last ODI
Sanju Samson played his last ODI match for Team India during the 2023 South Africa tour. In that match, Sanju Samson scored a century of 108 runs in 114 balls, which included 6 fours and 3 sixes. But despite this, he has been kept out of the ODI team. However, Sanju has been selected in the team for the T20 series. He was also part of the T20 team on the recent Zimbabwe tour, where he played a brilliant innings in the last match of the series.
Sanju's career has been like this so far
Let us tell you, Sanju Samson has played 16 ODIs and 28 T20 matches for Team India so far. In ODIs, he has scored 510 runs at an average of 56.66. Which includes 3 half-centuries and 1 century. At the same time, in T20, he has scored 444 runs at an average of 21.14. He has also scored 2 half-centuries for Team India in T20.
