Samson's Omission Was An Emotional Decision, Not A Logical One: Parthiv Patel
T20 World Cup: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel believes the decision to drop Sanju Samson and hand teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi an opportunity in the ongoing T20I series against England was driven more by emotion than logic.
India's bold selection call has come under scrutiny after the defending T20 World Cup champions slipped to an unassailable 3-0 deficit in the five-match series, with the opening match washed out by rain and only one game remaining. England sealed the series with a dominant nine-wicket win in the fourth T20I, their first-ever bilateral T20I series triumph over India.
Sooryavanshi, who was brought into the XI after intense public demand following his exploits in the IPL, has struggled to make an impact. The 15-year-old scored 14 on debut, followed it up with 13 in India's record 125-run defeat in the third T20I, and managed only a modest contribution in the fourth game as India's top order continued to falter.
