Sanju Samson jumped 8 rankings ⬆️ in latest ICC Mens T20I Batting rankings and is ranked above Subhman Gill.
He's ranked at 31st and is the 5th highest ranked batter from India. 💪🇮🇳
Demoted from Top order to Middle order, to fit in BCCI's poster boy Gill and still thrived under pressure. 🫡
Sanju Samson - They call him OG 🌟
#AsiaCup2025
Sanju answered every question while playing on the field. But when it came time to reward performances, he was left empty-handed. @imAagarkar karma has a way of catching up your time will come soon.
🚨 SHUBMAN GILL IN T20Is 🚨
📌 36 Matches
📌 869 Runs
📌 28 AVG
📌 138 SR
📌 3 Fifties (2 against Zimbabwe)
📌 18 Single-Digit Scores
And some Paid Journalists still want to project him as the future of India's T20I setup!! Now all are crying!!
A black day for Indian cricket. Parachuting someone into the captaincy who hasn't played a T20I in the last 3 yrs is a complete mockery of our system. By choosing him over Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, BCCI have proven that PR carries more weight than actual performance for India
FACT - Sanju deserved Captaincy of T20I side more than anyone in this squad. ✅
REALITY - A dancer who was not even part of the WC winning side is appointed as the Captain out of nowhere. ❌
This is beyond logic and explanation @BCCI. Watta you guys smoking???
In an ideal World, it would've been -
- Sanju Samson as C
- Axar Patel as VC
- Rajat Patidar at 4 instead of that Dancer Iyer
#T20ISquad
Clear agenda against POTT of WC2026.
- Random guy became Captain
- Inconsistent anchor became VC
- 15yr old debutant
But the man who won the WC singlehandly and deserved the Captaincy is kept aside for to be dropped from the squad soon.
Karma will hit you hard MC @imAagarkar@BCCI 🤡
If this fraud Chokepanch Midli Iyer is captain of my beloved T20I team ahead of WC and POTT Sanju Samson, then generational hate is loading against this fraud. Sanju fans, RT this post and we are going to hatewatch this fraud 🤡.
The harsh reality of Indian cricket is that deserving players never get the credit they deserve, and the same thing is happening with Sanju Samson.
A man who won the T20 World Cup for India just a few months ago and has been playing for India for the last 10 years still isn't getting the T20I captaincy.
On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer is getting the captaincy despite not even being part of the T20I setup. That alone tells you how much politics is involved.
Feel for Sanju. He has talent, but no PR and no strong connections with BCCI officials. That's why he isn't getting the captaincy.💔
Sanju Samson gave everything for India in T20 cricket and played his part in the World Cup-winning campaign.
Watching him get ignored in captaincy discussions while others get direct opportunities is genuinely painful. 💔
According to ESPNcricinfo's Smart Stats, Sanju Samson's per-match impact was the highest among all players who played at least five World Cup matches 🙌
The method behind his magical World Cup: https://t.co/qdhBjTZKKg
With Virat Kohli ruled out, Sanju Samson deserves to be the replacement in India's ODI XI.
Why?
• 510 runs in 14 ODI innings at an average of 56.6
• Strike rate close to 100
• A match-winning ODI century in South Africa under pressure
• Can bat in multiple positions and keep wickets if required
• One of the few Indian batters with both a 50+ ODI average and an attacking approach
India won't find another Virat Kohli. But if selection is based on ODI performances, Sanju Samson has already built the strongest case among the available options. His record speaks louder than opinions.
🚨 SANJU SAMSON IS THE NEW CAPTAIN OF THE INDIAN T20I TEAM 🚨
- According to close BCCI sources, there is a possibility that India will appoint a new captain for the T20I team.
- The selectors and coach Gautam Gambhir's first choice is Sanju Samson, and as things stand right now, Sanju Samson is set to become India's new T20I captain.
That wise man was fucking right. Every time the stage gets bigger, the pressure gets heavier, and the same story unfolds. Choked again when it mattered the most.
