Piyush Chawla Statement on Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson: Currently, Team India has many such players, who miss out on being a part of the squad despite having the ability. Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad are two such players who are not getting consistent opportunities. Many times fans feel that BCCI is doing injustice to both these players. Meanwhile, when Piyush Chawla was asked in a podcast who is more unlucky between Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad, he gave an important response.

Shubhankar Mishra told Piyush that many people feel that Ruturaj is being given less opportunities. He was dropped even after performing well. After this Chawla said, ‘Look, all this will keep going on. But you see, whenever he gets a chance, he comes and looks different. Then the host asked who do you think is more unlucky between Sanju Samson and Gaikwad? To this Chawla said, ‘Both are friends, this is a bit difficult question. I will not call them unlucky, because there is a team combination. So this happens in it.’

Then the host also expressed surprise about the reason for Sanju Samson not playing in the Duleep Trophy. Chawla said that it was a bit strange for me too. I think he would have come in the red ball cricket scheme in the eyes of the selectors. Samson is a very good player. I cannot tell why he is not in the red ball cricket scheme of the selectors. While telling about Samson’s records, the host also asked Chawla the reason for him getting less opportunities. On this he said that I will give you the answer after becoming a selector.
It is worth noting that Samson was last seen playing in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, in which his performance was quite shameful. He was out on a duck in two consecutive matches. Samson has not got a place in any team for Duleep Trophy 2024 as well.
