Ashwin’s Comments on Sanju Samson Spark Debate..Strong Reply to Fan’s Questions

Sanju Samson scored 107 runs in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand, but his performance in the final match came under scrutiny after he managed just four runs off 10 balls. Despite Vaibhav Suryavanshi being kept on the bench, the team management continued to back Sanju and gave him an opportunity. Meanwhile, former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin’s earlier comment describing Sanju as his first-choice player sparked a debate among cricket fans. One fan took to social media to criticise Ashwin’s opinion, pointing out Sanju’s disappointing performance throughout the series.

Responding to the fan’s post, Ashwin said, “Sanju is my first choice, but you are always thinking about him.” The exchange did not end there. The fan posted another sharp comment, asking Ashwin to express his opinion directly instead of bringing regionalism into the discussion. The fan also claimed that Vaibhav Suryavanshi had become the first choice for the entire country, while Ashwin continued to favour Sanju. The exchange between Ashwin and the fan has drawn attention on social media, adding to the discussion surrounding Sanju’s performance and team selection.
