Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has been raising questions on Sanju Samson in the past as well. Sanju has not been included in the squad for the series against Australia. Suryakumar Yadav is the captain of the Indian team for this series. In such a situation, Shashi Tharoor has written for Sanju on X that he is a better captain than Surya.
Shashi Tharoor wrote that his captaincy experience is more than that of SKY (Suryakumar Yadav). Our selectors need to explain their point to the cricket loving public. And why Yuzvendra Chahal has not been included as well.
This is really inexplicable. @IamSanjuSamson Not only should he be chosen, he should lead the party in the absence of all seniors. His captaincy experience with Kerala and @rajasthanroyals More current than SKY. Our selectors need to explain themselves… https://t.co/W251o89jzs
