Shahshi Tharoor is questioning after Suryakumar Yadav’s three consecutive golden ducks during the recently concluded ODI sereis against Australia.

“Now that poor @surya_14kumar has set an unenviable world record w/his three golden ducks in a row, is it unreasonable to ask why @IamSanjuSamson , averaging 66 in ODIs despite batting at an unfamiliar position for him at 6, wasn’t in the squad? What does he need to do?,” Tharoor tweeted.

Sanju Samson last played for Team India during the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka in January at home.

Unfortunately, he was forced to sit out the last two T20Is due to a left knee injury sustained while attempting to field a ball near the boundary ropes during the first T20I in Mumbai.

Despite this setback, Samson has represented Team India in 11 ODIs, scoring an impressive 330 runs at an average of 66. His talent and skill on the field are undeniable, and he is a valuable asset to the team.
