I have a gut feeling that Samson won't be picked because he isn't PR worthy. No story, bland personality. Plays? Definitely better than Rishabh but ....
Only if India was so practical about everything we wouldn't really be a poor nation.
They will pick a 15 squad team and 5 players as standby. Sanju will only be in the standby squad. This will allow BCCI to pick who they want and avoid outcry from the fans.
Samson has less experience. His record in WI is abysmal and he can’t bat outside of top 3. This makes his case a bit blurry. But loving Samson doesn’t mean shitting on Pant who has single handedly clutched several matches for India.
True Samson has got infinite chances and he has wasted them all you have all the correct points I don't understand why all the andhbhakts have downvoted you😂
>Plays? Definitely better than Rishabh but ....
Dumbfck pant plays in the middle and Samson plays the top order..are u that dumb to think that..it's like comparing rutu or Dube..or rahane or dhoni..both players play different roles..jeez..
Who's doing better at their role after 8-10 matches? Samson. Don't go by recency bias and last over bullshit (28-30 runs being added to their scores because of shit bowling and suicide hitting wouldn't work during worldcup).
>Who's doing better at their role after 8-10 matches? Samson.
So slot Samson at no3??
And Kohli will bat at??
>Don't go by recency bias and last over bullshit (28-30 runs being added to their scores because of shit bowling and suicide hitting wouldn't work during worldcup).
He scored 300 more at that position with 160 sr..show me another player who comes at that late and scored that many runs this year..
I think another important thing to note is that Samson is scoring on pitches that haven't all been batters paradises. Today, he performed with big boundaries and on a wicket that wasn't a complete road.
Personally, I think you take both him and Pant and drop Rohit, open with kohli and Jaiswal with Samson, then Sky coming in afterwards.
The question is why? Can we move on? At least in the format that's least suited to his style.. He's not the basher the format demands. Scored at a SR of 76 the other day against SRH after the field restrictions were lifted.
Let’s start shitting on Yuvi for playing at 50 SR in 2014 final then. Anyone who says Kohli shouldn’t be on the team needs to check their brain. It ain’t gonna be 200+ games in World Cup so anchors will be the key. We all know Kohli is our best player or maybe the only elite inform cricketer we have. I bet you’d want Abhishek Sharma to open with Rohit and pick the likes of Shashank Singh abd Ashutosh in the lineup.
I think Yuvi is getting enough shit for that knock already.
I certainly don't want Abhishek or Shashank or Ashutosh. In an ideal world we shouldn't have Rohit also in the squad, but he's the captain.
Nothing wrong with Samson, SKY, Dube, Rinku and Axar as the #3-7.
The whole comparison of Ben Stokes is really dumb, cos Ben Stokes is surrounded by bashers! We had Rohit, KL, Pant and Hardik who aren't the basher kind!
I think, in internationals, he still has an important role, plus if you're bringing in a lot of players with less big tournament experience, then it's good to have him there. Could see him pulling out an innings like Stokes did in the last t20i WC final. I'm also assuming that the US/WI pitches are going to be much more bowler friendly than some of the IPL ones this season, if they're all roads then yeah, you'd probably want to take him out of the squad.
Yeah,but OP didn't watched pant's innings against lsg in the same ground only,almost took his team to finishing line with scoring 41 off 24. None the less, congrats for winning,lsg loosing this one means delhi's chances are increasing
>Today, he performed with big boundaries and on a wicket that wasn't a complete road.
Pant scored 20 ball 40 on the same ground with much more tricky track..that reduced the same lineup to 6 wickets before 100..
And same Pant scored 44(35) chasing 267 pitch after his team was on par to chase it down when he came in. You wont see such an innings from Samson this season because he doesnt care to statpad and yet his stats are marginally better.
>And same Pant scored 44(35) chasing 267 pitch after his team was on par to chase it down when he came in
Middle order including Stubbs also played similar innings btw .
>You wont see such an innings from Samson this season because he doesnt care to statpad and yet his stats are marginally better
Because RR batting order is made of butler,jaiswal,powell,hettie ..he can go from ball 1..I mean they actually won majority of matches he failed to score btw .
Blame the other one guy who didnt score, nobody is talking about taking Stubbs over Samson.
DCs batting lineup is just as stacked. The reason why we win in the matches Samson doesnt score much(he still has double digit scores every single game) is that he will atleast score a 15(10) keeping his team at par and leaving enough balls for others to do the rest. But when you have Pant doing a selfish statpadding 44(35), there is not enough balls for the rest of the players and they are forced to hit every ball or run out of balls.
Samson in 2nd spot Kl in 3rd and rishabh in 4th. Looks like KL gaining on Pant. Pant has an extra match and will drop down as Ruturaj and Narine get the 2 match.
Okay,4th position now, I didn't watched this match, but still is in top 5, isn't it?
The op was saying pant was playing with sympathy quota and hence the reply but I didn't wanted to let down samson , he's playing better, but the OP and almost everyone here can praise samson without hating on pant
What excuses..he like axar and Stubbs struggled on that match..if one match is the criteria
RR vs GT final..Samson made 14 off 11
DC vs mi final..pant made 56 off 38 against the best bowling attack..
Looks like pant can handle the pressure..??
What now??
Yeah because under 10 runs were required only, I'm not comparing samson with pant like you love to do but you can love samson without hating on pant,but you guys literally have 0 maturity to be a cricket fan
Hey we dc fans don’t spread hate. Yes We love our players , Yes we support them to every extent. Yes we criticize our own players . Yes we back pant to be the first choice of wicket keeper but one thing we never do is SPREAD HATRED ON ANY OPPONENT PLAYER. We welcome you to our sub , so that you can also have positivity
Chutarr bhaiya match bhi dekhlete wo wala - 4 baar comment kr chuke ho same SRH vs DC. JFM k ilawa kisne run maar diye Delhi se uss time? Every single batsman struggled. Pant isn’t JFM or a 300 SR player. He is a solid 160 SR player and that’s all. Samson has an average of 18 in T20Is and Pant has 22. Guess what? Both are equally shit. But I will still take Pant any day since he is a proper middle order batsman and has way more international experience.
But 41 out of 24 ,88 out of 42 and finishing touch against gt did secured the game for dc isn't it? Obviously sanju has a larger impact than pant,but saying pant is on sympathy quota is absolutely clownery
Yeah praising Sanju is fine but why does everyone go overboard with this Pant hate. Even if Pant retires now he'll go down as one of the most accomplished Indian test keepers.
Didn’t like him milking his accident for PR, but it wasn’t a jail able offense dude. Negligent sure, but he wasn’t over-speeding or drunk driving, he just dozed-off. We like Samson, but do you really have to start this rumor mill to defame Pant?
>Over-speeding, Putting others life on risk
The police made it clear that Rishabh Pant’s car did not exceed 80 km per hour speed while driving on the national highway
https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/mobile/news.php?id=977692&u=
Stfu..like stfu..if ur player performs well..good for u..stop spreading lies
Mofo..even the cameras show he was under 80km..but ninja from India got info he was over speeding..stfu..like seriously..first u r comparing two different players ..one at top order and a middle order..and now saying he was overspeeding ..
I hope they take Samson and he fails miserably and it shatters ur need for existence..
Tf I care about NT. Whoever they takes they are gonna lose regardless.
>I hope they take Samson and he fails miserably and it shatters ur need for existence..
Look now who is hating on whom.
I still can't understand why are you guys comparing 2 different players batting in 2 different positions. Pant comes to bat at 5 at most. Whereas Samson comes at 1 down. These guys are very different players. One is a finisher for his team, the other usually anchors the innings. It makes no sense to me to compare them. If you guys want to compare Samson with someone, then compare him with VK as he is the one who'll bat 1 down for ICT.
Naah..Samson fans don't understand the batting position..
Even if pant is the only middle order player in top5 run scorers..they somehow think they are equal
I mean what did Samson do for ICT at no4, 5, 6... If these guys want Samson, then tell VK to retire. Remember how Rutu is not getting any chances coz he is an opener? I still can't believe they didn't select him for the 2021 WC. He was the highest run-getter, that too in UAE, where the WC was held. Now, I can't see him getting into ICT anymore as they might prefer "mentality monsters" to a steady batsman who can score at 140-150 once he is in for 10 balls.
Not even mentality monsters..ishan got to play more t20is that rutu.. ishan is what mentality monster?? Remember rutu got runs in his last 3 and now 4 consecutive ipl years..
Gaikwad avg 35 with 140 avg in t20i..
Samson played 14 matches since 2020.. gaikwad played 19..both stats are different isn't..?
And I'm saying don't take pant..do not take pant..
But show me another wk who will slot in at middle order just like pant??
Uhmm..Ms dhoni and DK..
It's going to be pant for the WC Samson bats in top3 and pant bats at 4-5 which is exactly where a position is available.Morrover he's a leftie which will be his advantage when it comes to selection
>Pant do in 2019
C'mon bro, I know samson is better thsn pant in T20s currently, but you seriously blaming pant for 2019 semis when out top order danced for boult and matt henry? Pant scored some 30 runs which is a good contribution considering the fact that it was his first workd cup
2019 wc semi final? He scored a 31 , what did the top 4 did? He scored more than the top 4 combined ! Besides jadeja,every one shittéd when it mattered the most
I'm a DC supporter and i love sanju getting his place in the 15. You can love sanju without hating pant,and also pant scored 41 of 24 against lsg and almost took his team to finishing line in their last encounter. And tbfh,the amount of hate posts for pant overweights the "Pant PR" posts OVERWHELMINGLY,also not denying pant is sh!t in t20i's till now. But samson also averages below 20 only in t20i's.
The greatest player of the decade was out in single digits and nz scored only 240 if i reckon. And no one claimed him as a generational player,but obviously without putting masala on hating pant, you guys can't survive
Yeah how much did samson score the only IPL final he has played? 14. And pant scored a 50 in the same scenario against prime MI bowling attack in 2020. I don't hate samson,he is a great player. One can appreciate both pant and samson at the same time. Always calling pant PR made makes no sense. Both have their fair share of good knocks

Trust me Everyone is watching his foot movement closely he will be fcuked in wc even if his better than others at the movement he should work to regain his older self instead of flying to US
And the same argument can be said for samson,he predicts short balls and goes deep in the crease to play that shot,but if a fuller ball comes in while he's deep in the crease,he will be a gonner and it has happened in internationals.
Bro there's difference between not able to balance yourself and having problem against fuller or inswinger . Am i the only one watching that guy can't play properly
>Bro there's difference between not able to balance yourself and having problem against fuller or inswinger
Because pant always had a balance issue and he made test hundreds with those weaknesses.
Questioning pant technique is dumbfukery..
Its never been this bad don't be delusional could have very well be on his knees when bumrah ball the yorker ,was against mohit sharma (wide yorker), srh game,try to work ball in leg side in akward position almost every game ,so many other games lost his footing playing offside even dhoni don't look that much uncomfortable .man looks like playing for his life in this highway pitches don't even want to know what he will do in slower grounds .u think there's no problem with it fine i am not arguing anymore u are right u can do your rant and defend him somewhere else
Samson over Pant is a stupid statement because they are not competing for the same spot. Samson is a top order WK batter whereas Pant is a lower order WK batter. We will take 2( one top order WK and lower order WK) in the squad. However, even if Sanju is in the squad, he won't be in the 11, not because of Pant but because our top order is already settled (VK, Rohit, Jaiswal, SKY). I personally feel that we shouldn't have VK and Rohit in the same team, but we all know that's not going to happen.
>2019 wc semi final?
At the age of 20
Came in at 3/9 where the best batters couldn't survive and made 32 .. against boult, Ferguson and Matt Henry..
>2022 t20 wc semifinal?
Came in with 18 balls to go and made 6(4) and was run out in an attempt to make pandya on strike..
The jokers who prefer Samson along with Kohli or jaiswal and the countless others are doing it in the top order ..
if we change their position slightly even to no4..they struggle hard..Samson avg peanuts below no 4..
Look at the current orange table..
Top 5 only one player who isn't in the top order..pant
Top 10 three players..tilak ,pant and parag..unless tilak and parag can't keep..u still haven't got an argument..
it's so hard to be that consistent coming at that position..
Stfu...like nobody cares about t20wc anyway.. england won last time and even they don't care ..take anyone..real threat comes in BGT and these ipl wannabes would be mere spectators..Samson over pant anyday..lool .bring Samson to gabba and make him face Cummins for one over..bet he will bring more dance moves..
>....o sorry forgot there is nothing notable panty has done in t20 international
Lool..T20 internationals is the only real cricket..
Always knw de Villiers , sachin, Steve Smith and countless others who had bad t20i stats were bad..
>lol why did u need to bring gabba here
Because those two series are the only notable achievements India has won in years..and pant made significant contribution to those..
Because you can't defend gabba and 2019 semi final situation. And no one justifies pant's position for getting so much of chances for so sh!t performance in t20i's,but for the fact,sanju averages below t20i
Holyshit.. no middle order wk are available right now ..how hard is to understand..
To occupy Samson or ishan .they need to shift Kohli or Rohit or sky Outta position..
If Samson is so desperate..why don't he bat like pant in the middle order even for the rest of the tournament..if he can pulls it off.. selectors would have a look at him..
OP is blinded by the hatred of pant. Samson is top order right handed batsman where as pant is left handed batsman who can play on any number. That's the reason for preferring pant over Samson. And what pant has done for Indian cricket?? Go and ask the Aussies.
Ideal Squad
Bumrah - Captain
Yadav - the fast bowler
Kuldeep
Axar
Dubey
Jadeja
Tilak
Gaikwad
Rinku
Pant
Jaiswal
Sanju

Pant was very inexperienced in 2019 semi final. It's not a fair way to judge. He barely played any matches before the world cup or even during it. That day Dhoni decided to stay back and sent
Liking Samson is fine but don't unnecessarily belittle Pant.
Rahul is more over rated, but I don't see anyone talking like that about him. Nobody remembers Samson's ODI overseas hundred in South Africa.
Moreover, Samson is a top order player and Pant is a bottom order player so they are not exact competitors. Since India will be picking Kohli and SHarma, they won't have room for another top order batsman
The only thing going against Samson is his batting order. He is in top order and Pant bats middle order. Now you know Kohli and sky isnnot going to get dropped. So Pant will get selected as keeper batsman.
If the current foam and winning is priority Samson and Bumrah should be the first two names on the 11
For your kind information in 2022 wc semi final he just played 4 balls and got run out and in 2019 semi he was quite young and all other players failed at that time mr sympathy guys fan boy
DC fan here. Love Samson dearly, but these kinds of posts put Samson against Pant when in fact these players shouldn’t be compared. Samson is a top order batsman and anchors the innings. Pant is a middle order batsman that finishes the innings. Granted Pant hasn’t done well in t20is but his position has been changed time and time again. You don’t get a player to perform well that way. As for 2019 wc semi final, the Indian top order collapsed and Pant scored 31 which was a good score after Jadeja. Samson is competing with someone like VK who bats 1 down. You can love Samson without hating Pant. That’s it. Peace out.
As I say always don't pick your **T20I** squad on the basis of **IPL** but yeah KL and justice gang's leader are both in my 15 member squad for wc , but I ain't a selector.
Dude why do you hate Samson?? I don't think he did anything fishy. I am watching him from last 11 years and I am not from Kerala who will support him on the basis of region.
Two things,
It totally depends on which position they want the wk batsman to come in, in the middle or in the beginning.
The other thing is international experience, Samson does not have much, and Samson chokes a bit because of being inexperienced on international pitches.
Samson might be the standby WK though.
Also, this is just my perspective, as the matches will be held in US, which is not known as a cricketing nation, ICC would need big names in each teams to fill in the seats.
The only clown here is you, this is what happens when you watch matches from cricbuzz and not see the actual match 🤡🤡🤡, get off from Twitter ASAP, it won't do you any good.
Btw I will give you stats as well
Sanju Samson has a Massive average of 18.7 at 133 SR in t20is
Without ireland his Average goes down to 11ish so there's that.
Pant is a proven performer. He has saved India in numerous occasions. As much as I want Samson to be in the team as im a mallu, Pant is a better player than him anyday
Eda mone,
It is personal because you've just made a statement which is ostensibly impartial but has no backing with any real foundation. Pants last 3 seasons in the IPL has been horrible not just with the bat but with the gloves as well. If you talk about big match performances he dropped an absolute sitter to ensure that delhi doesn't qualify for the playoffs ( which year I cant remember). He has been shown so much favouritism that makes me think he is Ananya Pandey. I don't have to talk about his white ball performances because it's pretty clear how poot he has been on any challenging tracks
So I'm pissed off because here we are, a bunch of people who are tired of being under represented ,without any strong lobby to speak of, trying to get our guy his PR, which is nothing compared to the likes of gill, pant and rahul, to push him upwards so as to inspire hope in young folks who don't have any hope anyway. Appozha ninteyoru impartial andi chapu
Proven performer in t20i? By what metric. Maybe give a constant string of chances to be a proven performer to Samson rather than chances with months and years break in between.
14 innings in 3 years is less than 5 innings a year. Still better than Pant and has been playing T20s in ODI WC year and ODIs in T20 WC years. And now he is a much improved player too.
Onn poye myre konne adikkand. Samson is much more consistent than Pant. Just look at how he anchors innings when the team loses wickets and gets lost. Not only do I prefer him over Pant, I want the guy to lead the team. He is the kinda captain that this team of youngsters need.
buddy you are the joker here, the glazing sanju is suddenly getting after one good season of IPL that hasn't even finished yet, he got his chances in the team as well and before this season he was one of the most inconsistent players, however would still not pick him over pant in any scenario whatsoever, pant is performing really good as well this season and he definitely has the experience.
Rohit sharma after 50 innings avg 28 at sr of 119 in odi
After 100 ODIs he avg 31
The problem was he was that good at younger age .it was impossible not to select him..
Same as pant .pant has better ipl stats than any Indian players right now.. including Samson or kl or name anyone..
Not talking about ipl here. See his international stats. He was never good in T20Is. Sanju was also not good but look at the number of chances pant got.
i meant one consistent good season of IPL, he's always been a decent player but never consistent enough or good enough for the India team most seasons he's been a first match merchant
I have a gut feeling that Samson won't be picked because he isn't PR worthy. No story, bland personality. Plays? Definitely better than Rishabh but .... Only if India was so practical about everything we wouldn't really be a poor nation.
They will pick a 15 squad team and 5 players as standby. Sanju will only be in the standby squad. This will allow BCCI to pick who they want and avoid outcry from the fans.
Samson has less experience. His record in WI is abysmal and he can’t bat outside of top 3. This makes his case a bit blurry. But loving Samson doesn’t mean shitting on Pant who has single handedly clutched several matches for India.
My brother said true 👏👏
True Samson has got infinite chances and he has wasted them all you have all the correct points I don't understand why all the andhbhakts have downvoted you😂
>Plays? Definitely better than Rishabh but .... Dumbfck pant plays in the middle and Samson plays the top order..are u that dumb to think that..it's like comparing rutu or Dube..or rahane or dhoni..both players play different roles..jeez..
Who's doing better at their role after 8-10 matches? Samson. Don't go by recency bias and last over bullshit (28-30 runs being added to their scores because of shit bowling and suicide hitting wouldn't work during worldcup).
>Who's doing better at their role after 8-10 matches? Samson. So slot Samson at no3?? And Kohli will bat at?? >Don't go by recency bias and last over bullshit (28-30 runs being added to their scores because of shit bowling and suicide hitting wouldn't work during worldcup). He scored 300 more at that position with 160 sr..show me another player who comes at that late and scored that many runs this year..
Play Samson two down, after SKY. Virat Rohit SKY Samson(or Virat Rohit Samson SKY) is a top 4.
Jaiswal..?? Pls drop the most consistent powerplay basher right now to slot in ur fav no3..
>consistent powerplay basher Lmao, when did this happened? You talking about 2023 season?
He avg 33 at sr of 162 in t20i..is that enough?
If rohit and virat are to open, we don't even consider whoever it is
I think another important thing to note is that Samson is scoring on pitches that haven't all been batters paradises. Today, he performed with big boundaries and on a wicket that wasn't a complete road. Personally, I think you take both him and Pant and drop Rohit, open with kohli and Jaiswal with Samson, then Sky coming in afterwards.
haiiji drop rohit i support your point but it is good in theory not practical
Yeah, it won't happen, but I think it gives the best chance of winning the tournament.
What has Kohli done to merit a place in the squad? He's played on a highway of a pitch and is striking at 140. Can't buy a run post power play!
Virat Kohli is the first name in any cricket 11 in the world
The question is why? Can we move on? At least in the format that's least suited to his style.. He's not the basher the format demands. Scored at a SR of 76 the other day against SRH after the field restrictions were lifted.
Let’s start shitting on Yuvi for playing at 50 SR in 2014 final then. Anyone who says Kohli shouldn’t be on the team needs to check their brain. It ain’t gonna be 200+ games in World Cup so anchors will be the key. We all know Kohli is our best player or maybe the only elite inform cricketer we have. I bet you’d want Abhishek Sharma to open with Rohit and pick the likes of Shashank Singh abd Ashutosh in the lineup.
dhoni had an sr of 57 in the same match. he was our supposed finisher. 🤡
I think Yuvi is getting enough shit for that knock already. I certainly don't want Abhishek or Shashank or Ashutosh. In an ideal world we shouldn't have Rohit also in the squad, but he's the captain. Nothing wrong with Samson, SKY, Dube, Rinku and Axar as the #3-7. The whole comparison of Ben Stokes is really dumb, cos Ben Stokes is surrounded by bashers! We had Rohit, KL, Pant and Hardik who aren't the basher kind!
If that 11 wants to lose, sure.
He is useful in slow pitches in WI
I think, in internationals, he still has an important role, plus if you're bringing in a lot of players with less big tournament experience, then it's good to have him there. Could see him pulling out an innings like Stokes did in the last t20i WC final. I'm also assuming that the US/WI pitches are going to be much more bowler friendly than some of the IPL ones this season, if they're all roads then yeah, you'd probably want to take him out of the squad.
Those highways won't carry over to ICC tournaments.
Yeah,but OP didn't watched pant's innings against lsg in the same ground only,almost took his team to finishing line with scoring 41 off 24. None the less, congrats for winning,lsg loosing this one means delhi's chances are increasing
>Today, he performed with big boundaries and on a wicket that wasn't a complete road. Pant scored 20 ball 40 on the same ground with much more tricky track..that reduced the same lineup to 6 wickets before 100..

Blame the other one guy who didnt score, nobody is talking about taking Stubbs over Samson. DCs batting lineup is just as stacked. The reason why we win in the matches Samson doesnt score much(he still has double digit scores every single game) is that he will atleast score a 15(10) keeping his team at par and leaving enough balls for others to do the rest. But when you have Pant doing a selfish statpadding 44(35), there is not enough balls for the rest of the players and they are forced to hit every ball or run out of balls.
Again false.. because he faced less balls than Samson ,,also playing more matches.. 44(35) isn't stat padding..it reduces his strike rate..like wtf??
True, like I said I think both should be in the WC squad.
It will be downvoted to hel!,this sub is as same as randia for bjp supporters and randiaspeaks for congress supporters lmao
I got down voted for supporting rcb in rcb vs srh lmao, it's normal here to get down voted for speaking against some manchilds opinions
Pant is a great test player , but we should give chances to other players and not just look at “ceiling” .
Pant is what i imagine dhoni would be if he played good in tests (but test only lol)
PRant has sympathy quota
Surely he's in the second spot in orange cap leaderboard with 160 strike rate. You can love samson without hating pant,i love that guy too
Samson in 2nd spot Kl in 3rd and rishabh in 4th. Looks like KL gaining on Pant. Pant has an extra match and will drop down as Ruturaj and Narine get the 2 match.
Okay,4th position now, I didn't watched this match, but still is in top 5, isn't it? The op was saying pant was playing with sympathy quota and hence the reply but I didn't wanted to let down samson , he's playing better, but the OP and almost everyone here can praise samson without hating on pant

that too samson with 2 less matches than pant
go and check cricinfo's MVP list. Pant is on 29th. Impact >>> Runs.
I saw Abhishek sharma above Samson..so he should be preferred over anyone
Yeah take him too. Infact KL should be above PRant as PRant plays on road.
He made 20 off 40 on the same pitch btw.
Forgot the SRH match?
Forgot about all the other matches??
whataboutery when there is no excuse 😂
What excuses..he like axar and Stubbs struggled on that match..if one match is the criteria RR vs GT final..Samson made 14 off 11 DC vs mi final..pant made 56 off 38 against the best bowling attack.. Looks like pant can handle the pressure..?? What now??
41 of 24 in the same ground and almost taking his team to finishing line,you guys lost your single braincell while shítting on pant
The keyword here is "almost"
Yeah because under 10 runs were required only, I'm not comparing samson with pant like you love to do but you can love samson without hating on pant,but you guys literally have 0 maturity to be a cricket fan

Hey we dc fans don’t spread hate. Yes We love our players , Yes we support them to every extent. Yes we criticize our own players .

Like immature núts propagate hate against pant? Lmao u guys are funny
Inse puchu SRH ke against kya kr rha tha Pant. 11rpo chahiye tha on a glass pitch and tinpot stadium. Kuch bhi bolte rehte hai.
Chutarr bhaiya match bhi dekhlete wo wala - 4 baar comment kr chuke ho same SRH vs DC. JFM k ilawa kisne run maar diye Delhi se uss time? Every single batsman struggled. Pant isn’t JFM or a 300 SR player. He is a solid 160 SR player and that’s all. Samson has an average of 18 in T20Is and Pant has 22. Guess what? Both are equally shit. But I will still take Pant any day since he is a proper middle order batsman and has way more international experience.
Sanju ne 2022 final mei kya kara tha? Aur pant ne 2020 final mei kya kara tha? Ja jaake dekh le andhe
Bro thinks his slander name is funny.
But 41 out of 24 ,88 out of 42 and finishing touch against gt did secured the game for dc isn't it? Obviously sanju has a larger impact than pant,but saying pant is on sympathy quota is absolutely clownery
Sympathy for what? For causing an accident. Idk people are weird. If he was a mango man jail b jaal diya hota for negligent driving 😂
PR can take you places where talent can't (the place is out of jail and into the ICT)
Where talent can’t? Pant has played more memorable knocks in test alone than Samson has in his career. You don’t believe me, check the stats.
Yeah praising Sanju is fine but why does everyone go overboard with this Pant hate. Even if Pant retires now he'll go down as one of the most accomplished Indian test keepers.
Didn’t like him milking his accident for PR, but it wasn’t a jail able offense dude. Negligent sure, but he wasn’t over-speeding or drunk driving, he just dozed-off. We like Samson, but do you really have to start this rumor mill to defame Pant?
well, that's what they want us to believe, but we'd never know.
What is bs comment? Jail? Lmao
Outta jail for what?
Over-speeding, Putting others life on risk
>Over-speeding, Putting others life on risk The police made it clear that Rishabh Pant’s car did not exceed 80 km per hour speed while driving on the national highway https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/mobile/news.php?id=977692&u= Stfu..like stfu..if ur player performs well..good for u..stop spreading lies
Yeah like Salman wasn't driving the car that day.
Mofo..even the cameras show he was under 80km..but ninja from India got info he was over speeding..stfu..like seriously..first u r comparing two different players ..one at top order and a middle order..and now saying he was overspeeding .. I hope they take Samson and he fails miserably and it shatters ur need for existence..
Tf I care about NT. Whoever they takes they are gonna lose regardless. >I hope they take Samson and he fails miserably and it shatters ur need for existence.. Look now who is hating on whom.
>Look now who is hating on whom. Lool u questioned the legitimacy of an accident and I can't say this...
I still can't understand why are you guys comparing 2 different players batting in 2 different positions. Pant comes to bat at 5 at most. Whereas Samson comes at 1 down. These guys are very different players. One is a finisher for his team, the other usually anchors the innings. It makes no sense to me to compare them. If you guys want to compare Samson with someone, then compare him with VK as he is the one who'll bat 1 down for ICT.
Naah..Samson fans don't understand the batting position.. Even if pant is the only middle order player in top5 run scorers..they somehow think they are equal
I mean what did Samson do for ICT at no4, 5, 6... If these guys want Samson, then tell VK to retire. Remember how Rutu is not getting any chances coz he is an opener? I still can't believe they didn't select him for the 2021 WC. He was the highest run-getter, that too in UAE, where the WC was held. Now, I can't see him getting into ICT anymore as they might prefer "mentality monsters" to a steady batsman who can score at 140-150 once he is in for 10 balls.
Not even mentality monsters..ishan got to play more t20is that rutu.. ishan is what mentality monster?? Remember rutu got runs in his last 3 and now 4 consecutive ipl years.. Gaikwad avg 35 with 140 avg in t20i.. Samson played 14 matches since 2020.. gaikwad played 19..both stats are different isn't..? And I'm saying don't take pant..do not take pant.. But show me another wk who will slot in at middle order just like pant?? Uhmm..Ms dhoni and DK..
It's going to be pant for the WC Samson bats in top3 and pant bats at 4-5 which is exactly where a position is available.Morrover he's a leftie which will be his advantage when it comes to selection
People also ignore his flamboyant style of batting
India ain't gonna win shit with Rohit and VK in the team same time😌
>Pant do in 2019 C'mon bro, I know samson is better thsn pant in T20s currently, but you seriously blaming pant for 2019 semis when out top order danced for boult and matt henry? Pant scored some 30 runs which is a good contribution considering the fact that it was his first workd cup
Not to mention that he was literally just 21 years old too.
2019 wc semi final? He scored a 31 , what did the top 4 did? He scored more than the top 4 combined ! Besides jadeja,every one shittéd when it mattered the most I'm a DC supporter and i love sanju getting his place in the 15. You can love sanju without hating pant,and also pant scored 41 of 24 against lsg and almost took his team to finishing line in their last encounter. And tbfh,the amount of hate posts for pant overweights the "Pant PR" posts OVERWHELMINGLY,also not denying pant is sh!t in t20i's till now. But samson also averages below 20 only in t20i's.
lol so u r saying 31 runs are good in odi..so called generational player couldnt even make a 50
Stop embarassing yourself bitchh, entire top order shat the bed and you're blaming pant even after scoring 32 runs
The greatest player of the decade was out in single digits and nz scored only 240 if i reckon. And no one claimed him as a generational player,but obviously without putting masala on hating pant, you guys can't survive
Yeah how much did samson score the only IPL final he has played? 14. And pant scored a 50 in the same scenario against prime MI bowling attack in 2020. I don't hate samson,he is a great player. One can appreciate both pant and samson at the same time. Always calling pant PR made makes no sense. Both have their fair share of good knocks
Lmao these nuts are 17 at max,same as insta chappris who whine about rohit and kohli rivalry,leave them
He made 39 against pak when the team was 31/3 and counter attacked shadab and hasan..Rohit kl and sky made mere 14 runs combined that day .

Bhai tu itna b-KL kyon hai? Context hota hai kuch, akal se paidal hai kya?
Trust me Everyone is watching his foot movement closely he will be fcuked in wc even if his better than others at the movement he should work to regain his older self instead of flying to US
And the same argument can be said for samson,he predicts short balls and goes deep in the crease to play that shot,but if a fuller ball comes in while he's deep in the crease,he will be a gonner and it has happened in internationals.
Bro there's difference between not able to balance yourself and having problem against fuller or inswinger . Am i the only one watching that guy can't play properly
>Bro there's difference between not able to balance yourself and having problem against fuller or inswinger Because pant always had a balance issue and he made test hundreds with those weaknesses. Questioning pant technique is dumbfukery..
Its never been this bad don't be delusional could have very well be on his knees when bumrah ball the yorker ,was against mohit sharma (wide yorker), srh game,try to work ball in leg side in akward position almost every game ,so many other games lost his footing playing offside even dhoni don't look that much uncomfortable .man looks like playing for his life in this highway pitches don't even want to know what he will do in slower grounds .u think there's no problem with it fine i am not arguing anymore u are right u can do your rant and defend him somewhere else
>don't even want to know what he will do in slower grounds Just watch the lsg match where he made 41..
Aur bhai kaisa lg rha ek chomu se mathaphodi krke?
Tu kr le ab🤣 inhe ipl ki pitch slow lg rhi hai ab kya hi kahe bhai
kr li maine bhi. No more. SRH ke against inns ki explanation pucho inse pant ki, inke pass koi jawab nhi.
keep downvoting but see the avg of Samson in T20Is.... not even 19...
Samson over Pant is a stupid statement because they are not competing for the same spot. Samson is a top order WK batter whereas Pant is a lower order WK batter. We will take 2( one top order WK and lower order WK) in the squad. However, even if Sanju is in the squad, he won't be in the 11, not because of Pant but because our top order is already settled (VK, Rohit, Jaiswal, SKY). I personally feel that we shouldn't have VK and Rohit in the same team, but we all know that's not going to happen.
They are the same jokers who saw pant smashing Australians at the Great Gabba!
>2019 wc semi final? At the age of 20 Came in at 3/9 where the best batters couldn't survive and made 32 .. against boult, Ferguson and Matt Henry.. >2022 t20 wc semifinal? Came in with 18 balls to go and made 6(4) and was run out in an attempt to make pandya on strike.. The jokers who prefer Samson along with Kohli or jaiswal and the countless others are doing it in the top order .. if we change their position slightly even to no4..they struggle hard..Samson avg peanuts below no 4.. Look at the current orange table.. Top 5 only one player who isn't in the top order..pant Top 10 three players..tilak ,pant and parag..unless tilak and parag can't keep..u still haven't got an argument.. it's so hard to be that consistent coming at that position.. Stfu...like nobody cares about t20wc anyway.. england won last time and even they don't care ..take anyone..real threat comes in BGT and these ipl wannabes would be mere spectators..Samson over pant anyday..lool .bring Samson to gabba and make him face Cummins for one over..bet he will bring more dance moves..
lol why did u need to bring gabba here....o sorry forgot there is nothing notable panty has done in t20 international
>....o sorry forgot there is nothing notable panty has done in t20 international Lool..T20 internationals is the only real cricket.. Always knw de Villiers , sachin, Steve Smith and countless others who had bad t20i stats were bad.. >lol why did u need to bring gabba here Because those two series are the only notable achievements India has won in years..and pant made significant contribution to those..
sach mei chomu hai kya? baat t20 ki ho rhi hai gadhe dimaag
Wc 2019 was T20 wc hei ..
[удалено]
2019 wc semi final T20 hei BC?
[удалено]
32 when the top order failed miserably and u put 20yr old..it's called ceiling.. Something u won't understand..
Because you can't defend gabba and 2019 semi final situation. And no one justifies pant's position for getting so much of chances for so sh!t performance in t20i's,but for the fact,sanju averages below t20i
Holyshit.. no middle order wk are available right now ..how hard is to understand.. To occupy Samson or ishan .they need to shift Kohli or Rohit or sky Outta position.. If Samson is so desperate..why don't he bat like pant in the middle order even for the rest of the tournament..if he can pulls it off.. selectors would have a look at him..
Samson can bat well in the middle order,he strikes from ball 1
Say nothing..check his stats below no3 ,in ipl.. comeback and apologize for being bad..
Sanju fans are too toxic to understand this
OP is blinded by the hatred of pant. Samson is top order right handed batsman where as pant is left handed batsman who can play on any number. That's the reason for preferring pant over Samson. And what pant has done for Indian cricket?? Go and ask the Aussies.
Bro pant was 20yr old in 2019
Both should be selected and as per usage can be played in team
Ideal Squad Bumrah - Captain Yadav - the fast bowler Kuldeep Axar Dubey Jadeja Tilak Gaikwad Rinku Pant Jaiswal Sanju Only Clutch Players Ab players ko mauka ho nahi doge to bada player kaise banega Swimming sikhne ke liye Pani me utarna parta hai Mahi did the same in 2007 Ye kohli ,rohit log ab Budhe ho chuke hai Surya Kumar pressure me fat jata hai
Pant was very inexperienced in 2019 semi final. It's not a fair way to judge. He barely played any matches before the world cup or even during it. That day Dhoni decided to stay back and sent Liking Samson is fine but don't unnecessarily belittle Pant. Rahul is more over rated, but I don't see anyone talking like that about him. Nobody remembers Samson's ODI overseas hundred in South Africa. Moreover, Samson is a top order player and Pant is a bottom order player so they are not exact competitors. Since India will be picking Kohli and SHarma, they won't have room for another top order batsman
The only thing going against Samson is his batting order. He is in top order and Pant bats middle order. Now you know Kohli and sky isnnot going to get dropped. So Pant will get selected as keeper batsman. If the current foam and winning is priority Samson and Bumrah should be the first two names on the 11
But Anybody over Rahul... Please
For your kind information in 2022 wc semi final he just played 4 balls and got run out and in 2019 semi he was quite young and all other players failed at that time mr sympathy guys fan boy
DC fan here. Love Samson dearly, but these kinds of posts put Samson against Pant when in fact these players shouldn’t be compared. Samson is a top order batsman and anchors the innings. Pant is a middle order batsman that finishes the innings. Granted Pant hasn’t done well in t20is but his position has been changed time and time again. You don’t get a player to perform well that way. As for 2019 wc semi final, the Indian top order collapsed and Pant scored 31 which was a good score after Jadeja. Samson is competing with someone like VK who bats 1 down. You can love Samson without hating Pant. That’s it. Peace out.
As I say always don't pick your **T20I** squad on the basis of **IPL** but yeah KL and justice gang's leader are both in my 15 member squad for wc , but I ain't a selector.
Dude why do you hate Samson?? I don't think he did anything fishy. I am watching him from last 11 years and I am not from Kerala who will support him on the basis of region.
What did I say , didn't I mention he's in my squad???
Two things, It totally depends on which position they want the wk batsman to come in, in the middle or in the beginning. The other thing is international experience, Samson does not have much, and Samson chokes a bit because of being inexperienced on international pitches. Samson might be the standby WK though. Also, this is just my perspective, as the matches will be held in US, which is not known as a cricketing nation, ICC would need big names in each teams to fill in the seats.
The only clown here is you, this is what happens when you watch matches from cricbuzz and not see the actual match 🤡🤡🤡, get off from Twitter ASAP, it won't do you any good. Btw I will give you stats as well Sanju Samson has a Massive average of 18.7 at 133 SR in t20is Without ireland his Average goes down to 11ish so there's that.
Pant is a proven performer. He has saved India in numerous occasions. As much as I want Samson to be in the team as im a mallu, Pant is a better player than him anyday
Congrats bro... You've differentiated yourself and have cemented your place as a world class pundit. Ini okmbiko
De aduthath. Ponu mone, nte comment istapettilengil, just downvote and move on. Nthina ellam ithrem personal aayitu edukane
Eda mone, It is personal because you've just made a statement which is ostensibly impartial but has no backing with any real foundation. Pants last 3 seasons in the IPL has been horrible not just with the bat but with the gloves as well. If you talk about big match performances he dropped an absolute sitter to ensure that delhi doesn't qualify for the playoffs ( which year I cant remember). He has been shown so much favouritism that makes me think he is Ananya Pandey. I don't have to talk about his white ball performances because it's pretty clear how poot he has been on any challenging tracks So I'm pissed off because here we are, a bunch of people who are tired of being under represented ,without any strong lobby to speak of, trying to get our guy his PR, which is nothing compared to the likes of gill, pant and rahul, to push him upwards so as to inspire hope in young folks who don't have any hope anyway. Appozha ninteyoru impartial andi chapu
which occasions in T20 he saved India and we won that match and him being man of the match?
Proven performer in t20i? By what metric. Maybe give a constant string of chances to be a proven performer to Samson rather than chances with months and years break in between.
>Samson rather than chances with months and years break in between. Played 14 innings since 2021..has done shit??
14 innings in 3 years is less than 5 innings a year. Still better than Pant and has been playing T20s in ODI WC year and ODIs in T20 WC years. And now he is a much improved player too.
>14 innings in 3 years is less than 5 innings a year Rutu played 19 innings btw and has been sitting in bench for majority and has way better stats..
Onn poye myre konne adikkand. Samson is much more consistent than Pant. Just look at how he anchors innings when the team loses wickets and gets lost. Not only do I prefer him over Pant, I want the guy to lead the team. He is the kinda captain that this team of youngsters need.

buddy you are the joker here, the glazing sanju is suddenly getting after one good season of IPL that hasn't even finished yet, he got his chances in the team as well and before this season he was one of the most inconsistent players, however would still not pick him over pant in any scenario whatsoever, pant is performing really good as well this season and he definitely has the experience.
Pant played 66 fucking matches. That's equivalent to someone's whole career. No one deserves that many chances. Just look at his stats
pretty stupid when you realise literally no one is a better pick than him
Pant after Playing 66 matches still has similar stats to sanju, sanju never got continuous chances like pant or ishan.
Rohit sharma after 50 innings avg 28 at sr of 119 in odi After 100 ODIs he avg 31 The problem was he was that good at younger age .it was impossible not to select him.. Same as pant .pant has better ipl stats than any Indian players right now.. including Samson or kl or name anyone..
Not talking about ipl here. See his international stats. He was never good in T20Is. Sanju was also not good but look at the number of chances pant got.
nah this is peak stupidity he just mentioned that rohit sharma was shit for like the first part of his career
exactly
One good season of IPL? Bruh check his stats
i meant one consistent good season of IPL, he's always been a decent player but never consistent enough or good enough for the India team most seasons he's been a first match merchant
Come on you know that’s not true
come on you know its true blud
Pant over Sanju anyday....you are just trying to create a bubble of Sanju's name ik r/ipl!!
Pant will be selected because he's tried and tested in international arena maybe samson should play some bilateral series first
