Sanju Samson has been dominating with his recent form at the highest level of competitive cricket, yet the selectors have cast massive doubt on his technique for ODI formats. He has, hence, been dropped from the Indian ODI side.
Sanju Samson dropped from Indian ODI side; Yashasvi Jaiswal also sidelined.
Both Indian cricketers Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal, the two renowned batters, have been dropped from the Indian ODI side; however, the reasons behind dropping them seem quite unreasonable.
Indian ODI Squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (VC), KL Rahul (WK), Ishan Kishan (WK), Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Prince Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, and Harsh Dubey.
“Was seeing Jaiswal as a backup for Rohit.” – India fans left shocked by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s sudden snub from Indian ODI side
I was seeing Yashasvi Jaiswal as instant backup of Rohit Sharma for World Cup 2027 but he is not in the ODI team now🤔

They are seeing Ishan as backup both kl & Rohit. This is 2 in one and good for the team combination.
