On the eve of India's second ODI match against Australia, Sanju Samson, possibly the unluckiest player in the country, took to Twitter and shared a '"," - a comma. And it became an instant hit with fans.
It can be seen as a sign of frustration from the talented Kerala wicket-keeping, who once got the snub from the Indian cricket board (BCCI). With legendary MS Dhoni certainly out of the picture, Rishabh Pant has emerged as the obvious successor. But Pant has so far failed to convince the fans.

And for many, Samson should get the chance to prove his worth. But Samson's case has been a story of heart-breaks. He is always there in the periphery.
Here are some reactions to Samson's 'comma':
He has so far played 2 T20Is despite making his debut in 2015. Pant, on the other hand, has played 11 Tests, 16 ODIs and 28 T20Is since his debut in 2017.
Meanwhile, on Friday, the BCCI named KS Bharat as the cover for injured Pant.
