R Ashwin Doing Mimicry Of Sanju Samson: The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of England, where an exciting five-match T20 International series is being played between the two countries. But amidst this series, a new controversy has arisen in the Indian cricket circles. Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has now been benched after struggling with poor form in the initial matches against Ireland and England. Surprisingly, Sanju Samson has not got a place in the Indian team for the T20 series to be held against Zimbabwe soon after this. Amidst Sanju Samson being repeatedly thrown in and out of the team, India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has openly supported him.
Ashwin became Samson and gave class to the selectors
Since BCCI’s decision, the anger of fans and many former cricketers is at its peak. Many veterans believe that injustice is being done to Sanju and he should be brought back into the team. Ravichandran Ashwin spoke openly on this issue while talking on his YouTube channel. During this, senior sports journalist Vimal Kumar was seen in the role of selector. At the same time, Ashwin expressed his views by posing as Sanju Samson. During the conversation, when the journalist put forward the selector’s point of view, he said, ‘Sanju, you played well, we are proud. But let me also tell you that when you started in 2015, we also gave you a break. Look, there is a lot of cricket these days. You can understand, there are only 1 or 2 places in the team.
On this, Ashwin interrupted and put himself in Sanju’s place and showed the mirror to the selectors and said, ‘”Sir, please! When I came on the England tour for the first time in 2014, I was given rest. After that, it took a long time of eight years to return to the team. Therefore, Sir, I do not want any rest. If that is the case, then I am ready to go to Zimbabwe along with my parents and wife. In the year 1999, Zimbabwe had defeated India in the World Cup, I want to avenge that defeat, please sir, select me in the team, I do not want rest. This video of Ashwin is now going viral on social media.

Samson cleared from Zimbabwe tour
Sanju Samson played an important role in India winning the 2026 T20 World Cup. But the tour of Ireland and the first match against England was nothing special for him. Due to which Vaibhav Suryavanshi was given a chance to play in place of Sanju. At the same time, the Indian team has to visit Zimbabwe this month, where a three-match T20 International series is to be played between the two teams. When the Indian squad was announced for this tour, Sanju Samson’s name was not included in it. Which is quite shocking. Although he is part of the Indian team for the Asian Games.
