Before the start of every series or a squad selection, the wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson somehow always finds his name making the headlines. Samson hasn’t been part of any of the ODI squads recently, despite averaging 56 in the format and even in the T20Is, despite batting out of position, despite being moved up and down the order constantly, he was dropped after just one failure in Australia because Shubman Gill took the opening spot after coming back in the Asia Cup, while Jitesh Sharma was looked at as a better middle and lower order hitter.
