Gautam Gambhir: Everyone is aware of the new head coach of the Indian team, Gautam Gambhir, how much he hates the former captain of Team India, MS Dhoni, and because of this, the players who consider Dhoni as their idol are not getting a chance in the Indian team.

Actually, Team India is currently in Sri Lanka (SL vs IND) and both the teams are playing T20 series. This is Gambhir's first assignment as the head coach of India and he has also won his first match as a coach.

This player is facing punishment for considering MS Dhoni as his idol

Let us tell you that the one who considers Dhoni as his idol is none other than Team India's wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson and he was not included by Gambhir in the playing eleven of the first T20 match against Sri Lanka.

Sanju has performed brilliantly for Team India for some time now and this player scored a half-century in his last T20 match but even after this he did not get a chance. Not only this, Samson scored a century in his last ODI match and even after this he has not been selected in the ODI series.

Samson considers Dhoni as his idol

Actually, Sanju Samson is a wicketkeeper batsman and that is why he considers Dhoni as his idol. Samson has openly praised Dhoni many times and called him his idol. Whenever Sanju has got a chance, he has never shied away from praising MS and perhaps this is the reason why Gambhir is not giving him a chance.

A similar incident happened once during IPL 2023, when Sanju, while speaking about Dhoni, said that when Dhoni is on the crease, you cannot feel comfortable at all because he can do anything and no strategy works against him.

Gautam Gambhir supported Sanju Samson in the year 2020

Let us tell you that Sanju has been constantly in and out of Team India and in this episode, in the year 2020, Gambhir himself tweeted that Samson is not only the best wicketkeeper batsman in India but in the world. Does anyone want to debate on this? However, now after becoming the head coach, he has dropped Samson from the team.
