Team India will be playing a five-match T20I series against Australia, starting from 24th November. Suryakumar Yadav has been announced as the captain to lead the young bunch of players, who will be facing the mighty Australians. The exclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal and Sanju Samson from the squad has caught the attention of the already upset fans. 

With the exclusion of Sanju Samson from the squad despite resting the senior players, a fan shared a video of Shane Warne praising the right-handed batter. Warne said that he would be an all-format player for the Indian team. While the fan wrote, unfortunately, we don't have anyone to recognise his talent.

After Warne's old tweet about him being a fan of Travis Head, making rounds on the internet after the left-hander's stellar knock of 137 in the World Cup 2023 final against India, now his views about Sanju Samson have caught the attention of the fans after the Indian was snubbed for the upcoming T20I series.

A few years ago, when Shane Warne was the mentor of the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, he watched Sanju Samson closely and worked with him. Sanju Samson has been leading Rajasthan Royals for a while now, and is always among the standout performers of the tournament. 

In the video, Shane Warne was asked about Sanju Samson on Instagram Live and he said that Sanju is an absolute champion and he would be surprised if Sanju doesn't become an all-format player for the Indian team in the coming years. 

Before the World Cup 2023, Sanju Samson was there in the T20 set up of the Indian team and even was a reserve batter for the Asia Cup 2023. With this snub, the story of Sanju being not backed and being unlucky seems to be getting more and more darker and interesting.
