Questions were also raised on Samson’s exclusion from the match despite playing a decent 36-run knock in the first ODI. India made two changes to their playing eleven as Deepak Hooda and Deepak Chahar replaced Samson and Shardul Thakur.
On being asked why Samson was dropped, skipper Shikhar Dhawan said: “We wanted the sixth bowler to come in, so Sanju Samson missed out and Hooda came in.”
India were 89 for 1 in 12.5 overs when a second stoppage sealed the fate of the game as there was no possibility of having a minimum 20-over per side match within the stipulated cut-off time.
The match was reduced to 29-overs-a-side as the first interruption caused a four-hour break. India were 22 for no loss in the fifth over at that time.
