The Indian team has been announced for the Sri Lanka tour. Many changes have been made in India's ODI team and meanwhile wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has also been dropped from the team. After Sanju's drop from the team, the fans are completely furious and have reminded the team's new head coach Gautam Gambhir of his 4-year-old tweet and an old statement.

GG's 4 year old statement went viral

Actually, Gautam Gambhir had tweeted about Sanju Samson in the year 2020 i.e. 4 years ago. Through this tweet, he had said that Sanju Samson is not only India's best wicketkeeper batsman, but he is also India's best young batsman. Not only this, when he tweeted this, he was also ready to debate on this issue.

If Sanju doesn't play then this is India's loss

Also know that not only Gautam Gambhir's old tweet, but also an old video is going viral in which he was praising Sanju Samson and saying that his not being selected in the team is not Sanju's loss but Team India's loss.

He had said, “If Sanju Samson doesn't play for India it is not Sanju's loss, it is India's loss and I hope Sanju will be supported the same way Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been supported. We are losing a talent who will probably be the world's number 1 batsman in the future if we support him.”

Fans got upset with Gambhir

So Gautam Gambhir said all these about Sanju Samson just to drop him from ODI squad despite scoring a match winning 100 in last ODI series decider in SA.

It is worth noting that with Gautam Gambhir's old tweets and statements on Sanju Samson going viral, it is clear that the fans are completely upset with the new head coach. This is because the kind of support Gautam Gambhir used to talk about for Sanju, he is not seen doing that now after becoming the head coach. This is the reason why the fans have shown him the mirror.

Let us tell you that wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson scored a century in the last ODI match played against South Africa last year for India. Recently, in the last T20 match between India and Zimbabwe, he scored 58 runs for the team in difficult times. However, all these performances of Sanju did not make much difference to the selectors and he was dropped from the ODI team.
