Sanju Samson, who was recently dropped from India's T20I squad for the second and third T20Is against England, fell for a golden duck in the warm-up game on Sunday.
Sanju Samson was dismissed off the very first ball of the Indian innings in the warm-up match against Northamptonshire at County Ground on Sunday.
Samson was seen walking out to open alongside Ishan Kishan in India’s innings and took the first strike against part-time off-spinner Joshua Cobb. The wicketkeeper batter tried to play a nonchalant leg glance first ball, but missed it entirely to be trapped in front for a golden duck.
Rahul Tripathi, who came in at No.3, was dismissed immediately after by Netherlands quick Brandon Glover.
At 8/2, rain intervened and the match was interrupted. Samson smashed 77 in a record-breaking stand alongside Deepak Hooda in the match against Ireland recently, but was still dropped from the Indian T20I squad for the second and third T20Is against England.
He, however, remains a part of the squad for the first T20I.
