Mukesh Kumar was handed the debut cap but what caught the attention was team picked Ishan Kishan as a keeper in the team over Sanju Samson. The left-hander, who is an opener, has been slotted at No.4, where he failed to mark during the ODI series against New Zealand.
On the other hand, Sanju Samson in the limited opportunities has been terrific and him being a natural middle-order batter, it was expected that he would feature in the starting XI. In 11 games so far he has scored 330 runs and has a staggering average of 66.
Here’s the Indian XI for the first ODI against West Indies:
Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan(w), Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar

Show me a more unlucky batter wicketkeeper than Sanju Samson. Hurts more when you are among the top batters of the team, not just a wicketkeeper, but still failing to find a spot even after winning knocks.#INDvsWI #WorldCup2023 pic.twitter.com/v9e9jknNhs

No Sanju Samson in the India XI is ridiculous. He needs more support, you cannot play a backup keeper over him. #INDvWI

The last time Sanju played for India was the one-day series against South Africa and he did well but still it’s a wonder he can’t find a place in the playing xi. This might be Sanju’s last phase in the Indian cricket team. #SanjuSamson

They won’t play Ishan kishan in middle order in the world cup , he would be in the squad only as a backup opener , Sanju Samson should have been given a chance today #INDvsWI

Sanju Samson’s ODI averege is outstanding. His Strike rate is incredible. Still he is not playing! This is injustice. This is a shame for Indian cricket!!

Relax guys. Sanju Samson will play directly in the World Cup semifinals when India loses 78/5.
