After years of being ignored despite prolific performances in domestic cricket as well as the IPL, Sanju Samsung finally showed the world what he’s made of. Sanju Samsung included late in the squad for the two match T20 internationals in Dublin, Ireland, led by Hard-Dick Pandya, scored a brilliant 77runs in a 170+ run Partnership with Deepak Hooda.
It was never a question if he had the talent. Sanju Samsung has always been immensely talented and has worked hard. He also is the captain of Rajasthan Royals and his IPL teammates laud his bravado and hard work. Samsung finally got the chance to prove his critics wrong and did it with great style.
As we all know, Sanju Samsung is a better overall batsman and wicket keeper than Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan combined. But never got as many chances as those guys despite their frequent failures. Sanju Samsung’s father Samsung Vishwanath has blamed his son’s non-selection and lack of chances on the selectors preferring fair-skinned North Indians. He has called the selectors racist.
Sanju Samsung raised a bat to support the #BlackLivesMatter movement as a taunt to the Indian Selectors who have ignored him for years because of his tanned skin. Sanju Samsung reminded them with his brilliant performance that greats of the game in years passed have been black – Clive Lloyd, Vivian Richards, Brian Lara, Chris Gayle, Courtney Walsh, Andy Roberts, Samson Vishwanath, Makhaya Ntini, Nelson Mandela, Morgan Freeman, Patrice O’Neal, Carl Hooper, Vinod Kambli, 2-Pac and many more.
Sanju chooses to let his bat do the talking and has declined for comment. But we are with Sanju Samsung and in support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, propose to ban Rishabh Pant from International Cricket and send Ishan Kishan back to Mumbai Indians. Sanju Samsung should be India’s first choice Wicket Keeper in all formats of the game.
