Former Team India cricketer Reetinder Singh Sodhi believes that wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant is now becoming a burden in T20 Internationals. Reetinder Singh Sodhi said that the selectors and team management should now give a chance to deserving candidates like Sanju Samson, who have been waiting for their turn for a long time.
Reetinder Sodhi Says To Bring Sanju Samson
During a conversation with India News, Reetinder Singh Sodhi said, ‘He (Rishabh Pant) is becoming a burden for Team India. Sanju Samson should be brought. You cannot afford to lose and get knocked out of the World Cup or ICC tournaments. When you give too many chances, problems arise. The time has come to provide opportunities to new people.
Sodhi further said, ‘Only time will tell how many chances he gets and how much time he gets. Time is running out, and he really should buckle up. Everything has a limit. You can’t depend on one player for so long. You have to show him the way out if he is not performing.
Let us tell you that even though Sanju Samson was included in the team for the recently concluded T20I series against New Zealand, he was not selected for a single game. Sanju Samson was seen warming the bench throughout the series. After Sanju Samson was continuously ignored, the fans took out their anger on the team management on social media.
