Sanju Samson, not Shubman Gill, should open with Abhishek Sharma: Shashi Tharoor Questions Questions Team India's batting order
Veteran Congress MP Shashi Tharoor congratulated Team India on the Asia Cup 2025 victory against Pakistan. At the same time, he questioned India’s batting order. Tharoor believes Sanju Samson, his fellow mala bells, should have batted for India. ‘While we are rejoicing in the exciting victory in the Asia Cup final last night, let’s pay tribute to coach coach Gautam Gambhir and selectors, who chose the perfect team for the tournament. They are always the first to blame when things go wrong, but we will say goodbye to the fact that they get very good this time! ‘ Shashi Tharoor wrote. “That said, it is fair to ask a few questions, without distracting our victory in any way. Was it right to break up the extremely successful opening partnership of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson and place a three -time Centurion to a middle slot where he was uncomfortable? ” The MP of the congress asked next. “Did Gill’s performances at the Asia Cup justify such a change? Wouldn’t it be better to restore Sanju to the place where he shone for India, Gill placed Gill at number three and Surya would rather have the number five slot? ” The MP of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, asked. Users on social media have responded. “Sir, monkey open indirectly Mein ‘Mallu Reservation’ Moonang Rahe Ho (you indirectly ask for a ‘Mallu Reserve’)!” knocked one of them out. “Shubman Gill doesn’t use the PowerPlay like Sharma and Samson used it in the past. Shubman Gill is better suited to the middle order as he plays and Samson’s best position is as a opener,” came an analytical answer. Another user continued and suggested: ‘Abhishek and Gill are the perfect opening pair, Sanju must be at number 4 and Surya must be fallen from T20I. ” You raise many valid points, Mr. Tharoor. The Opening Partnership of Abhishek-Sanju was really explosive and it looked a confusing. Sanju was phenomenal as a opener and pushed him in order, it might not use his strengths. T20Is, with 267 runs of 22.25. 21 runs. have 1 century in T20 cricket. Sanju Samson for the Rajasthan Royals and Abhishek Sharma for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
