Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has once again come out in support of Sanju Samson ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Tharoor has argued that there isn’t enough buzz about the RR captain, who has been in scintillating form in the Indian Premier League’s 2024 season. Tharoor has slammed the Indian selection committee for repeatedly ignoring Samson for ICC tournaments and has said that justice needs to be given to the wicketkeeper batter.
This is not the first time that Tharoor has come out in support of the talented player. Back in 2023, Tharoor had demanded an explanation from the selectors who did not give Samson a long rope ahead of the 50-over World Cup. On Wednesday, 24 April, Tharoor reacted to Harbhajan Singh’s tweet where the former India cricketer had backed Samson for a spot in the T20 World Cup 2024.
“Delighted to agree with my fellow MP Harbhajan Singh on both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson! Have been arguing for years that Sanju has not had the selectoral breaks he deserved. Now he is the leading Keeper-batsman in the IPL but is still not discussed when the team is debated. Justice for Sanju!” Tharoor tweeted on April 24 morning.
