“Let’s think about Sanju Samson… very happy to see grandeur Make your debut, and it deserves celebration, but let’s not forget that Sanju was Man of the Tournament at the T20 World Cup just 3 T20 matches ago,” Rayudu wrote on X. Samson lost his place after a disappointing performance in the opening T20I against England, where he could score just one run from seven balls. India were looking to freshen up their batting line-up, so the selectors turned to the highly rated Suryavanshi, widely regarded as one of the brightest young batting talents in the country. Although Rayudu welcomed Kishore’s inclusion, he also expressed confidence that Samson will make a shock comeback. “I just hope he comes back stronger and I wish Vaibhav a long and record-breaking career,” Rayudu said. Samson’s omission has become one of the biggest talking points of the series, especially considering his remarkable performances during India’s successful T20 World Cup campaign. The wicketkeeper-batsman was named Player of the Tournament after playing a decisive role in India’s title win, with his exit following a solitary low score becoming a subject of debate among fans and former cricketers. Suryavanshi’s first innings lasted only 10 balls, but the 15-year-old still showed glimpses of his immense talent. He scored 14 runs with the help of two sixes before being stumped and displaying a fearless approach, he was included in the team for the first time in India. Despite Kishore’s historic debut, India were unable to secure a win. England achieved the target of 191 runs with four wickets remaining and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20 series. With the opening matches washed out due to rain, England now need just two more wins to clinch the series, while India will need to win each of the remaining three matches to turn the tie around.
