The current controversies are due to Sanju’s emotional celebratory performance after scoring Vijayaran. Sanju threw his helmet to the side just before kneeling on the ground and raising his hand to the sky in celebration. Reports have surfaced that the ICC is now examining these scenes.
The only thing that could be seen in the celebratory performance was Sanju’s excitement to become India’s winning architect in a crucial match after consecutive poor performances. But according to the ICC Code of Conduct, no cricketer or member of the support staff should disrespect cricket-related equipment. Throwing away the device is likely to be considered a minor offence, even if it is so celebratory as to go against the spirit of cricket.

Will Sanju shine against England? This is what these figures say

Sanju is likely to be punished with a small fine or demerit points if the ICC is found guilty. In the most serious cases, suspension is possible. But in Sanju’s case there is no chance of a serious punishment like suspension. Therefore, fans should not worry that Sanju will miss the crucial semi-final match.

Given the emotional situation, the punishment is likely to be limited to a small fine or a warning. India’s semi-final match against England will be held on March 5. It remains to be seen whether Sanju Samson will shine again for India in the match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
