Sanju Samson who is expected to make a permanent place in the Indian team, missed to make a place in the recently announced squad. He is currently leading Rajasthan Royals and is expected to transferred to another team for a huge price in the mega auction. In the 14th edition of the IPL tournament, Rajasthan failed to perform as a team but Sanju had a decent tournament. He scored 484 runs in 14 games, averaging an impressive 40.33.

On seeing his name missing in the squad, a number of online users got upset and started trending “Justice for Sanju Samson”. “Bhuvi selected because he North Indian. Sanju rejected because he South Indian” a follower wrote in his tweet whereas another one said “The Way You have backed Rishabh, why BCCI Is unable to back Samson?”

So as usual Sanju is dropped🙂 Man literally had his best IPL season🥲
Sanju started playing IPL at the age of 18 also won the emerging player award. He is now 26!
If groomed earlier he could hv been our no4.

When Sanju was young bcci didn't picked him saying he was too young
After that they didn't picked him by saying he is inconsistent
Now he is performing consistently in both IPL and Syed mushtaq ali
Now why they didn't select Sanju samson
Any reason?#Justiceforsanjusamson
