“How in the world Deepak Hooda plays ahead of Samson” – Twitter reacts as Sanju Samson is not included in the Playing XI vs New Zealand

After rain washed-out the 1st T20I match scheduled between hosts New Zealand and India in a 3 match series, the 2nd match is currently ongoing at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first. And once again after Team India’s playing XI is announced, the fans have been left to wonder what has Sanju Samson done wrong to not play.

Both wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant have gotten the opportunity to play while Deepak Hooda have also been preferred over Samson and this has left Indian fans angry.
