In a gentle reminder, Ramesh said that Ajit Agarkar is still in the chair as the chief selector only because of Sanju Samson. If Samson did not do well in the final few laps of the 2026 T20 World Cup, then the ultimate result of the tournament and the fate of Ajit Agarkar could be different.
“Agarkar, who dropped Samson, is in an extension period himself. His contract was to end in June, but the T20 World Cup triumph helped extend his time. And it was Sanju, who played a major role behind that victory."
Sanju Samson's heroics helped India to claim the 2026 T20 World Cup title with ease
Sanju Samson's struggle with his form is nothing new. The immensely talented keeper-batter dealt with off-form on multiple occasions even ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Due to his batting slump, the team management dropped him from the playing eleven in the early stage of the tournament and promoted Ishan Kishan as an opener.
“In the semifinal and final, he had the opportunity to complete his century. But without thinking selfishly for personal milestones, he played for the team and got out. Such team players should be the first ones backed," said Ramesh
The snub of Sanju Samson initiated a fresh debate
Samson amassed a total of 321 runs in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, averaging 77.33 and an explosive strike rate of 199.11, which earned him the 'Player of the Tournament' award.
“How can a player of the tournament in a World Cup be dropped from the squad after three failures? Out of those three innings, the entire team failed in two of them in Ireland. It looks like those who took these three innings forgot about his previous three innings that won India the World Cup,” the former cricketer raised his concerns.
