Rayudu acknowledged the excitement surrounding Suryavanshi's debut but reminded fans of Samson's achievements in India's recent T20 triumph.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLet\u2019s spare a thought for Sanju Samson\u2026 very happy to see Vaibhav make his debut, and it deserves a celebration, but let\u2019s not forget that Sanju was the man of the tournament in the T20 World Cup just 3 T20 games ago,\u201d Rayudu wrote on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Samson's omission came after he managed just one run from seven deliveries in the opening T20I of the series against England. India opted to reshuffle their batting order for the second match, bringing in the highly-rated Suryavanshi, one of the country's brightest young prospects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While welcoming the new face into the national side, Rayudu also expressed confidence that Samson would use the setback as motivation and return stronger. \u201cI just hope he comes back strong and also wish Vaibhav a very long and record-shattering career,\u201d Rayudu added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England clinched a four-wicket win to take a 1-0 lead in the five-game series. While the hosts need just two wins to clinch the series, the visitors need to win the remaining three games after the first T20I ended in a washout. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
