Twitter Can't Keep Calm Over Sanju Samson's Zimbabwe Omission.

The Indian team is having a packed schedule in the coming months, even in the shortest format of the game. Amidst this, the BCCI also announced India's squad for the T20I series against Zimbabwe, set to be played immediately after the tour of England. The team announcement has somewhat shocked the fans.

Sanju Samson was not a part of the team for this series. In his place, players such as Prabhsimran Singh have been given an opportunity to play. BCCI even confirmed that Samson has been rested by them for the series against Zimbabwe, and he has not been dropped from the team.

But fans have something entirely else to say. In the second T20I against England, Samson was replaced by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, after having a poor run in his last three bilateral matches. Now him being rested and the BCCI giving clarification for the same comes at the wrong time.

Here's how Twitter has reacted to the same.

Sanju Samson will surely be unhappy after being dropped from the team. After all, he was the Player of the Tournament of the T20 World Cup hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
