Sanju Samson: India locked horns with New Zealand in the second T20I game on Sunday at the Bay Oval. The BCCI sent a new-look team on this tour and has given rest to senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul. Hardik Pandya is the captain of the team, while Rishabh Pant is the vice captain.
However, the team selection came under the radar in the second T20I game when India preferred Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant, and Ishan Kishan over Sanju Samson. Although India won the game by 65 runs, Sanju Samson’s fans didn’t take it lightly. They slammed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Twitter.
India won the second T20 game by 65 runs and has taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Both teams will once again lock horns in the third and final game on Tuesday at 12 p.m. IST on November 22 at McLean Park, Napier. India made 191/6 in 20 overs.
Surakumar Yadav made an incredible century and made 111* off 51 balls, including seven sixes and 11 fours. In reply, New Zealand got all out for 126 in 18.5 overs. Deepak Hooda took 4/10 in 2.5 overs, and Mohammed Siraj and Yuzi Chahal picked up two wickets each.
