New Delhi. Sanju Samson, who played an important role in India winning the title by performing brilliantly in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 just four months ago, is now out of the playing eleven of Team India. He did not get a chance in the last two matches of the current T20 series against England. He could score only 6 runs in the first three innings, in which he was out once without even opening the account. Due to poor form, the team management decided to sit him out. Let us know what Gambhir said about him?
With Sanju Samson out, 15 year old young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi got a chance to debut in international cricket. Since Vaibhav is also an opening batsman, the team management was faced with the challenge of dropping one of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. Looking at the current form, Abhishek Sharma was retained in the team, while Sanju Samson had to be left out of the playing eleven.
Gautam Gambhir gave a big hint
India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir made it clear that he has already talked to Sanju Samson about his role. However, he did not share the entire conversation. Gambhir said that Sanju’s contribution in the T20 World Cup was excellent and the team fully appreciates his performance. He also said that the current form of a player is also an important basis for selection.
return door still open
Gautam Gambhir also clarified that the possibility of Sanju Samson’s comeback is not completely lost. He said that Sanju may get a chance again in the current series also, because the final decision is taken on the basis of the balance of the team and the best playing eleven that wins the match. Gambhir admitted that the Indian team was not successful in adapting itself to the conditions of Ireland and England in the recent matches, the effect of which was clearly visible on the results.
