Did Vaibhav Suryavanshi become the reason for Sanju Samson’s ruin? After England, now Zimbabwe has also been wiped out from the T20I series!

Sanju Samson, who was the ‘Player of the Tournament’ of T20 World Cup 2026, has suddenly been dropped from Team India, and the biggest villain behind this big decision is believed to be none other than the young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. After being dropped from the England tour, Samson, who is struggling with poor form, has now been wiped out from the T20 series against Zimbabwe. The surprising thing is that while the experienced Samson has been criticized, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has managed to save his place in the team due to the kindness of the selectors. Questions are being raised whether Sanju Samson’s career is at stake due to this new player?

Let us tell you that the Indian team has been announced for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Zimbabwe. The command of the team on this tour will be in the hands of Shreyas Iyer. However, the most surprising decision in this team selection has been the exclusion of wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, who played an important role in making India champion in the T20 World Cup 2026.

Sanju is currently on the England tour with the Indian team, but after the second match there, he was dropped from the playing eleven. After flopping in three consecutive matches, he had to look for a way out. Now Rinku Singh has returned in his place in the team for the Zimbabwe tour. At the same time, young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made his debut in the second match against England, has managed to save his place.

World Cup winner Sanju Samson on leave

The time immediately after the World Cup was not good for Sanju Samson, who was the ‘Player of the Tournament’ in the T20 World Cup 2026. His bat remained completely silent in two matches against Ireland and one against England, after which he was dropped from the team. After the World Cup, Sanju got a chance to play only three matches, in which he scored only 5, 0 and 1 runs. He has had to suffer the consequences of this poor form and has been left out of the Zimbabwe tour, while Rinku Singh has regained his place in the team.

Prabhsimran Singh and Ashok Sharma get a chance for the first time

Prabhsimran Singh, who batted brilliantly for Punjab Kings in the IPL, has been included in Team India for the first time. Apart from him, fast bowler Ashok Sharma, who surprised everyone with his speed in IPL 2026 and bowled the fastest ball of the season, has also got the ticket of the Indian team for the first time; Ashok plays for Gujarat Titans in IPL.

Along with this, pace merchant Mayank Yadav has also returned to the team. Mayank was away from the cricket field for a long time due to injury, but now he is fully fit and ready to fire on the field against Zimbabwe.
