'Ishan ne konse jhande gaadhe h rest ke liye' - Fans divide as Sanju Samson likely to be India's primary wicketkeeper in Ireland T20s with Ishan Kishan to be rested

Team India is all set to tour Ireland for the three-match T20I series starting from the 18^th of August next month. All the series matches will be played at the Malahide in Dublin. Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is all set to lead the men in blue for this assignment against Ireland.

Meanwhile, a few media reports have suggested that the star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is likely to be the leading wicketkeeper against Ireland. Apart from that, there are also the assumptions that the young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan could be rested from this series against the Irish side.

“Sanju Samson is likely to be the main wicket-keeper for Ireland T20 series as Ishan might be rested looking at the Asia Cup,” a report in the ANI read.

Subsequently, a section of Indian cricket fans took this news report as an opportunity to troll Ishan Kishan as they believe he has not done much to deserve a break. Fans took to Twitter and reacted with different opinions.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Sanju in far far great player than ishan but he is very underrated. Sanju can play at any position and as per the demand of team but kishan cant do these thing

Yes, Samson is reserved to play only for the Ireland series, which happens every year. And will be rested for all other important tournaments.

Strange selection policies of BCCI.Are they waiting for Asia Cup and Workd Cup debacle to make much needed replacements.Current selection are based on reputation rather than performance.
