Ind Vs WI 2023: The first ODI match between India and West Indies was filled with weird instances. Virat Kohli not batting even while India lost 5 wickets, Rohit Sharma came out to play at the 7th number.
But the weirdest thing that clicked with fans the bad way was the exclusion of Sanju Samson from the playing XI. And the emotions reach sky-high when Suryakumar Yadav came out wearing Samson’s jersey.
Fans were left confused as to why Surya came wearing Samson’s jersey. They not only questioned the exclusion of Samson but were also wondering why the jersey was swapped.
Issue With The Size
The reason why Surya was wearing Samson’s jersey was due to logistic reasons. Surya usually wears a Large size jersey but due to some miscommunication, the dealer sent him a medium-sized jersey.
Though Surya managed to complete a photo shoot with the matchday jersey given to him, it was medium-sized rather than large. The Number 1 T20 batsman informed management about the issue one day before the game.
Management took note of the problem and immediately asked for a large-sized matchday jersey for Surya. But the delay in the arrival of the new jersey resulted in Surya donning Sanju’s jersey in the match.
Ind Vs WI 2023: Why No Sanju?
Many fans were left bewildered as to why Sanju Samson was not picked for the playing 11. This series is being considered Samson’s last chance to prove his place in the squad before ICC World Cup 2023.
And fans were angry when many new youngsters were selected instead of Sanju. But after an abysmal performance by many of these players, it looks like both Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson will be getting a place in the playing 11 for the next ODI.
