'Sanju mera first-choice': Ashwin comes to Samson's defence after New Zealand series struggles, delivers witty response

Ravichandran Ashwin recently defended Sanju Samson on social media after a critic questioned his support for the wicketkeeper-batter following a lackluster performance in the final T20I against New Zealand. Samson managed only four runs in the series decider, bringing his total for the last four matches to 40 runs after an initial half-century.

The series concluded with India taking a 3-2 victory despite dropping the final two games. Meanwhile, the selection conversation has expanded to include teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who recorded scores of four and 45 during his two appearances in the series.
