Fans Outraged as Sanju Samson Misses Out Again; Fourth T20 Abandoned

The fourth T20 match between India and South Africa in Lucknow was called off due to dense fog, denying fans the chance to see Sanju Samson play. With Shubman Gill sidelined due to injury, the spotlight was expected to shift to Samson, but nature had other plans. All attention now moves to the series decider in Ahmedabad.

Sanju Samson’s Unfortunate Luck

At the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, thousands of fans were eagerly waiting to watch Samson don the blue jersey once again. However, heavy fog forced the match to be abandoned without a toss, leaving India’s 2-1 series lead intact but raising questions over Samson’s playing chances.

News of Shubman Gill’s injury had initially sparked hope that Samson would open alongside Abhishek Sharma. But with the match called off, that opportunity slipped away. Social media erupted with memes and reactions, with fans joking that even nature seems to be unfair to Samson.

Mohammad Kaif Questions Team Management

Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif openly criticized the selectors and team management on his YouTube channel. Supporting Samson, Kaif highlighted the disparity in handling “X-factor” players. While Samson faces the threat of being dropped after a few poor performances, Gill has been consistently given chances despite underwhelming statistics. In 36 T20 matches, Gill has scored 869 runs at an average of 28.03, which Kaif believes is below expectations for a player of his talent. He stressed that it’s time for the management to take decisive actions.

Series Status and Ahmedabad Decider

Under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy, the series has been full of twists. India began with a big win in Cuttack, suffered a loss in Mullampur, and bounced back with a victory in Dharamshala, leading 2-1. The fifth and final T20 will be held on December 19 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

With Shubman Gill unavailable, all eyes are now on whether Sanju Samson will finally get a place in the playing XI or if the team management will opt for another strategic change. Clear skies in Ahmedabad promise a thrilling finale for fans eagerly awaiting action.
