Sanju Samson took to social media to express his feelings after he was not included in the India squad for the ODI series against Australia. The exclusion of the wicket-keeper batter came as a surprise as major stars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were rested for the matches and Ravichandran Ashwin made a surprise return. However, India decided to go with KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan as wicket-keeping options. "It is what it is !! I choose to keep moving forward," he posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
