Team India opener Sanju Samson was dismissed for just two runs off five deliveries in the final T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand on Sunday, resulting in a lot of anger and frustration amongst the fans. Samson hit the full ball straight to Mitchell Santner, attempting to drill it hard without proper timing. The opener's dismissal gifted the Black Caps an early strike with Samson criticised for failing to yet again make amends for the numerous chances provided to him. Here are some of the reactions from the fans:
Admit it or not but Sanju Samson is not temperamentally ready for International Cricket.#NZvIND

I think it’s the end of Sanju samson’s chances... I stood up for him and asked him to be tried and he has disappointed massively. Think he will never get a chance again

KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma have helped rescue India following Samson's cheap dismissal, with the Indian team in a strong position at 51/1.
