"What more does he have to do?" Shashi Tharoor comes out in support of Sanju Samson after ODI snub
Tharoor shares meme, questions BCCI for dropping Kerala cricketer
Thiruvananthapuram: Senior Congress leader and MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Shashi Tharoor on Thursday once again batted for Kerala batsman Sanju Samson and extended support to the calls of his selection into the Indian team.
Tharoor took to his official Twitter handle and raised questions over dropping the wicket-keeper batsman from the Indian national team for the upcoming Sri Lanka ODI series.
He shared a meme that he said was being widely shared in Kerala. The meme claimed despite having the highest batting average in ODIs among Indian batters, Samson still missed a deserved match at his home venue Trivandram.
India is set to play one of the ODI matches in Kerala’s Trivandrum.
“This meme about @IamSanjuSamson is going around in Kerala. I have to say I agree with it. What more does he have to do to get a deserved place in India’s ODI XI?” Tharoor wrote in his tweet besides tagging the official handle of BCCI in it.
Tharoor has on several occasions extended support to the fans of Sanju Samson who largely claim that the Kerala cricketer gets ignored by the BCCI due to his South Indian origin.
