Sanju Samson: India is taking on New Zealand in the third ODI at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch. And once again, the debate of Sanju Samson vs Rishabh Pant ignited when Samson didn’t get a chance in the playing XI while Pant failed yet again. After winning the toss, New Zealand decided to bat first. It wasn’t a good effort from the Indian team, and they got all out for 219 in 47.3 overs. Only Shreyas Iyer (49) and Washington Sundar (51) played two good innings.
Pant, who came out to bat at No. 4, got out after scoring 10 runs off 16 balls. It was yet another failure for the 25-year-old on this tour, as he hasn’t scored much on this New Zealand tour. He featured in all six games (T20Is and ODIs) and scored 6, 11, 15, DNB, and 10. While Samson only appeared in one game. He made 36 runs off 38 balls in the first ODI.
