Sanju should retire from Indian team; The fans screamed
The third match once morest New Zealand ended in a draw due to rain. With this, India won the T20 series with a win. But this was a match in which India’s batting and bowling both falter.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, New Zealand started slowly. He lost opener Finn Allen in the first over. Soon Mark Chapman also left the crease.
Later, Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips put on a great partnership for New Zealand. Both their half-centuries played a crucial role in helping the team score to 160. But in the last overs, New Zealand lost the entire wicket with 2 balls remaining.
In a match where all India’s bowlers gave away runs at will, only Mohammad Siraj stood out. The player took four wickets giving away 17 runs in four overs. Arshdeep took four wickets but conceded 37 runs.
The batters also put out a disappointing performance. With a target of 160 runs to win, India faltered from the start.
Openers Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant returned with ten and thirteen runs. T20 specialist Suryakumar too might not do much. Hardik Pandya was the only one who held back a little in the match where Skye scored 13 runs and Shreyas Iyer returned as a duck. Hardik scored 30 runs from 18 balls.
The rain came when India’s score stood at 75/4. At first the match was stopped for a while, but then the draw was broken by the Deckworth-Lewis rule. With this, India won the series with a win.
After the match, the criticism of Sanju Samson not giving him a chance in the playing eleven has become stronger. These criticisms were there even before the competition started. Sanju was not dropped in all the three matches and the fans are protesting fiercely.
Many people are questioning the fact that Rishabh Pant, who is out of form, was given a chance. This has intensified as the player performed poorly in the last match as well.
They are also making another demand to Sanju and BCCI on Twitter. Many people are asking Sanju that he should not continue in the team and should retire as he continues to not be given a chance to play.
They are also making the same demand to BCCI. Their question is whether it is better to ask the best player who made his debut in the national team in 2015 to retire than to continue this cruelty without even giving him a chance to play.
