Congress MP Shashi Tharoor brings Sanju Samson into KL Rahul's selection debate

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has jumped into the selection debate that's raging on social media.

While netizens are divided over the inclusion of KL Rahul in the Indian squad, Shashi Tharoor brought Sanju Samson into the debate.

Replying to a senior journalist, Tharoor questioned Samson's omission from Team India's ODI squad for the Australia series.

Even though Tharoor made an error with Sanju Samson's numbers, the MP from Kerala stated that "it’s all very well to give non-performers a long rope but surely not at the expense of talented performers?"

Tharoor mistakenly had written that Samson was overlooked despite averaging 76 in ODIs. The Kerala batter, in fact, averages 66 after 11 ODIs.
