Ravichandran Ashwin defended Sanju Samson on social media after Samson struggled in the T20I series against New Zealand.

Samson managed 67 runs across five matches, including four in the final game, prompting discussions about alternatives such as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

Ashwin responded lightheartedly with the message 'Sanju mera first-choice'. India led 3-0 before New Zealand won the last two games to take the series 3-2.
