“Mere Prithvi ko bhi le jao!” - Twitterati engage in interesting debate amid reports of Sanju Samson getting an 'offer' to play for Ireland

Team India’s wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has reportedly received an offer from Cricket Ireland to play for their country. While there has been no official confirmation over the same, numerous media reports have claimed that the Irish cricket board has offered the Indian cricketer a permanent place in their cricket team.The report further claimed that the Kerala cricketer had politely declined the offer. If Samson had accepted the proposal, assuming the reports were true, he would have had to retire from all formats of Indian cricket, including the Indian Premier League (IPL), in which he captains the Rajasthan Royals (RR).He might also have had to sacrifice a few years of his international career before being eligible to play for Ireland.While the reports of Samson being invited to represent Ireland are very much unverified, the rumors gave his fans fodder for getting involved in an intense social media debate.Sportskeeda@SportskeedaSanju Samson has not been getting enough chances in Team India 🤯#CricketTwitter #teamindia8656598Sanju Samson has not been getting enough chances in Team India 🤯#CricketTwitter #teamindia https://t.co/VAAQzoSif2Some urged the Indian cricketer to seriously consider the offer, while others hailed him for rejecting the same.
