Sanju Samson in his last ODI – 108 which helped India win ODI series in SA.

Sanju Samson in his last T20i- 58 when Ind are 40/3.

But only god knows when he will play next ODI or T20i.

I hope Gautam Gambhir brings justice.#INDvsZIM #Sanjusamson @GautamGambhir#SanjuSamson pic.twitter.com/NxIF8Z7WyE

What do you think about Tushar Deshpande? Whenever I’ve seen him, even in the IPL, he always seems to be quite expensive.#ZIMvIND

Dube is improving as a bowler, if he loses some weight, he can easily clock 130ks…@IamShivamDube#ZIMvIND
