Former India player turned commentator Irfan Pathan feels that India wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson was not treated fairly by the team management when he left his spot as an opener to Shubman Gill in the T20I setup.

“Personally, I would like to see Sanju Samson getting some runs and getting the position which he is there for a long period of time, because what happened was unfair to him, right? If Samson does not score runs and the team management replaces him with Ishan Kishan, you can understand that decision,” Irfan Pathan told RevSportz.

Irfan Pathan applauded Team India’s recent batting approach, but said that when things do not go as planned, it will be someone like Tilak Varma who rescues the team as well.

“I think this approach is really good, but I really think in this team, guys like Tilak Varma are very important. Because when there is pressure, or when the ball starts to grip, he will come into play, because he plays percentage cricket. In this team everyone plays aggressive, which is fantastic, but you need a player like Tilak Varma,” Irfan Pathan concluded.
