Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel comments on the ongoing debate about team selection in Indian T20 cricket. He questions the decision to include Vaibhav Sooryavanshi while Sanju Samson is left out, arguing that dropping a more established senior player does not follow clear logic. Patel says the call appears to have been taken “emotionally,” implying that selectors may be prioritising factors other than performance or balance. In his view, accommodating the younger Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should not come at the cost of removing Samson from the squad, and the rationale for excluding the senior batter is unclear. The remarks reflect broader discussion among cricket followers about whether selection choices favour experience or aim to bring in new talent. The reports present Patel’s criticism without adding further specifics on the selectors’ official reasoning, the match context, or statistical justification for either player’s inclusion or omission.
