Dubai, UAE – Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has voiced strong support for India’s batsman Sanju Samson ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. Gavaskar insists that Samson should be a key part of India’s playing eleven and not just a reserve. This statement has sparked discussions around the team’s lineup as India prepares for the prestigious tournament.
Sanju Samson has impressed with his versatility and batting skill in recent matches. With Shubman Gill returning to the squad, the selection committee faces a tough call on who to include in the final playing eleven. Gavaskar emphasised Samson’s ability to adapt to different batting positions, which gives India a strategic advantage.
“Samson offers flexibility at the top and middle order. He has the technique and temperament for big matches. In my opinion, he cannot sit out as a reserve,” Gavaskar said during a recent interview in Dubai.
India’s team management is carefully considering form, fitness, and team balance. Shubman Gill’s return brings back solidity at the top order, but will it come at the cost of dropping Samson? The debate is on among fans and experts alike.
Samson’s recent performances in domestic and international cricket show a positive trend. His aggressive yet composed style has won him accolades. Moreover, his fielding abilities add value to the team’s overall strength.
