Will Sanju Samson reclaim his spot after being dropped for Vaibhav’s debut?

Samson’s batting prowess has been on a quiet spell in recent weeks. After a lackluster display against Ireland and a solitary run against England, the Indian selectors chose to give the emerging Vaibhav Suryavanshi a chance in the playing eleven. The decision sparked a debate about Samson’s future role in the side. Ambati Rahudu expressed optimism, stating that Samson’s previous form – including being named Player of the Tournament at the 2026 T20 World Cup – suggests he can bounce back strongly. The former player also extended his best wishes to Suryavanshi, hoping the youngster embarks on a long, record‑breaking career.
