Arre bhai, Aakash Chopra keh rahe hain ki Sanju Samson ka kya hoga? Thiruvananthapuram mein final T20I hai, par pehle do matches mein toh bhai aise out hue jaise chaat khane gaye ho! New Zealand ne 209 ka target diya, aur Samson toh jaldi chale gaye. Suryakumar ne toh chase aise kiya jaise ghar ka khana ho! Fans hain hopeful, par pressure toh hai bhai! Ishan Kishan ya Sanju, kaun banega hero, yeh toh dekhna padega!

Hey, listen up! In the T20I opener against New Zealand on January 21, Sanju Samson got knocked out for just 10 runs! The Black Caps chose to field first at Vidarbha, and though he hit a couple of fours, he got caught at midwicket. Fans are mixed, saying he wasted a chance, but remember, class is forever! Ishan Kishan also struggled, scoring only 8 runs. Keep believing!

Hey there, sports fans! Aakash Chopra, the cricket guru, says Sanju’s like a sandwich without the meat—just not filling enough! It’s a showdown with Ishan Kishan, and both need to turn up the heat in the New Zealand series to claim that keeper role for the 2026 T20 World Cup. India won the first match, but c’mon, we need more than just a snack from these guys!
