‘Kya soch ke Virat ko rest deke isko khilaya’ – Fans troll Sanju Samson as he fails with the bat against West Indies in 2nd ODI
India wicketkeeper batter, Sanju Samson got the opportunity to play in the ongoing second ODI against the West Indies. In the game, the likes of former India skipper Virat Kohli and the current skipper have been rested for the game. They were replaced by the likes of Samson and Axar Patel. However, both have failed with the bat.
Talking about Patel, he got out after scoring one run. He couldn’t evade the short ball from Romario Shepherd. On the other hand, Samson, who gets small numbers of opportunities was expected to do well for the team. However, before the rain break, the Kerala player lost his wicket. Once again, this has led to fans trolling him for his failure.

rain has come at the right time …looks like even against a side like wi virat &rohit will be needed to see the team thru and that doesnt bode well for future of ict.
