Former World Cup winner Sunil Gavaskar has given a blunt response when asked about the Sanju Samson vs Ishan Kishan debate. The cricketer-turned-commentator feels that there’s no way Samson can find a place in the team at the T20 World Cup 2026, especially after getting overshadowed by Kishan in the India vs New Zealand T20Is.
“I think the selection committee was quite forthright, giving Sanju Samson all the opportunities. But now, with Ishan Kishan’s innings here and Tilak Varma likely to return, the batting order looks definite,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports
“It is really difficult to drop him. And dropping him for whom? Tilak Varma is a proven performer at this level. Sanju Samson is also a proven performer, but he is not in form. It has got nothing to do with his ability. In a tournament like the World Cup, you can’t take chances. This is the reason I think that after giving him five matches – I think his highest score is 24 – and he has got out in odd manners, he is definitely short on confidence. Unless Tilak Varma is not fit, I don’t see him (Samson) being part of the XI on February 7 (vs USA in the T20 World Cup),” Gavaskar said after the match ended.
