Sanju was included in the Indian squad for the Asia Cup as a back-up when KL Rahul was injured. But he did not get a chance to play. Now he has been excluded from the ODI series against Australia. Even when the senior players were rested, Sanju was not invited. Instead, Ruturaj Gaekavad joined the team.Another information coming out now is that Sanju has even lost the chance to play county cricket. Sanju had an opportunity to play for the county club. But the contract could not be signed due to the back-up in the Asia Cup team. Later, when Rahul’s injury changed, Sanju had to leave the team. Now Sanju is not in any team. Sanju is out of Indian team, county and Asian Games team. KL Rahul will lead the Indian team for the first two ODIs against Australia. Senior players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, all-rounder Hardik Pandya and spinner Kuldeep have been sidelined for these matches. All four will return for the final ODI. Veteran spinner R Ashwin is also in the team.
Suryakumar Yadav, who has a worse record in ODIs than Sanju, and Shreyas Iyer, who has not recovered from injury, are in the squad. Earlier there were reports that Sanju will be in the World Cup team. That is why there were reports that Sanju was left out of the Indian cricket team for the Asian Games. But while all the second tier players got a place in the team, Sanju was left out. In short, Sanju is not even among the top 30-35 cricketers in the country. Fans are asking what mistake did Sanju do just for this?
