“Go Figure”: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor Weighs In On Sanju Samson Being Dropped | Cricket News

[ad_1] Right-handed batter Sanju Samson has been regularly finding himself going in and out of Team India, and he has not been able to get games on a consistent basis. After scoring 36 in the first ODI against New Zealand, Samson was dropped for the 2nd ODI as team management wanted to have a batting all-rounder, who can also roll his arm over.
