India wicketkeeper batter Sanju Samson has been ignored for the ODI series against Australia and the Asian Games 2023. In the victorious Asia Cup 2023, he was part of the team as a reserve player. Now, as reported a few days ago, Samson has been excluded from both teams. Talking about the ODI series, it will start on September 22 and conclude on the 27. On the other hand, the Asian Games Men’s competition will start on September 27 and India will play on October 3.
Meanwhile, an image of Sanju wearing an old RCB practice kit is going viral. Talking about his IPL career, he has played for Kolkata Knight Riders (2012), Rajasthan Royals (2013-2015 and 2018 to current), and Delhi Capitals (2016-2017).
