The Indian Men's Selection Committee has announced the final 15-member squad for the ICC T20 World Cup, and Sanju Samson has been named in the squad alongside the other members of the team.
Sanju Samson had been one of India's starlets in the shortest format of the game; over the last year of 2024, he even became the first batter to score three hundreds in the T20I format in a calendar year.
However, now that Shubman Gill has been snubbed from the T20I side for the World Cup and Sanju Samson has been picked, it seems he has regained his spot at the top of the Indian batting order. The batter has celebrated his moment of joy with an Instagram post.

Gill has lacked form since his return to the Indian T20I setup; he has poor numbers with the bat and has failed to make it count in the 15 games he played for India. He might be one of the backup reserves for India, but India did not name any of their reserve players.
Ishan Kishan handed the backup wicket-keeper spot for the ICC T20 World Cup
Rishabh Pant, the wicket-keeper batsman who was part of India's ICC T20 World Cup-winning squad in the USA and the Caribbean in 2024, has constantly been overlooked by coach Gautam Gambhir. Now Jitesh Sharma has also failed to make it to the World Cup squad.
The batter has rightly been offered the spot, marking his sheer domination and form in recent times, unlike Jitesh Sharma, who lacks consistency and Rishabh Pant, who has been absent from limited-overs action for a long time.
