‘Sanju Samson was dropped from Team India for Shubman Gill’

It seems as if there has been an uproar since Sanju Samson was dropped from Team India. First this player was dropped from the playing eleven of Manchester T20 and after that his name is not in the team of three-match T20 series against Zimbabwe. Seeing this happening with Sanju Samson, now former cricketer Sadagopan Ramesh has made a big allegation. According to Ramesh, Team India wants to bring Shubman Gill back to the T20 team, hence Sanju Samson has been dropped. Let us tell you what statement Sadagopan Ramesh has given and why he said this?

What did Sadagopan Ramesh say on ousting Sanju Samson?

Many people will see this as giving a chance to Prabhsimran Singh but I am seeing it differently. These people don’t want to do it directly but they Shubhman Gill There is an effort to take him back into the T20 team. This statement of Sadagopan Ramesh is very shocking because Shubman Gill was dropped from the team by Team India just before the T20 World Cup 2026. This player played 15 T20 matches in the last one year in which his average was less than 25, as a result he was dropped from the team even though he was also the vice-captain of the team.

After this, Shubman Gill scored 732 runs in IPL 2026 at an average of 45.75 in which his strike rate was more than 160. His performance took Gujarat Titans to the finals, although the team lost to RCB. But now Sadagopan Ramesh feels that Team India management somehow wants to bring back ODI and Test captain Shubman Gill in the T20 team.
