    T20 WC: Samson's Return Shows Pieces Are Falling Into Right Place For India, Says Gavaskar

    By IANS News March 03, 2026 • 10:24 AM View: 258
    DP World Celebrity Golf Event: India legend Sunil Gavaskar believes Sanju Samson's return to playing eleven for the Super Eights of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup is a proof that the pieces are falling into place for the defending champions at the right time ahead of their semi-final against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

    Samson rose to the occasion with a perfectly paced 97 not out off just 50 balls as India chased down 196 to beat West Indies by five wickets in a virtual knockout clash in front of 67,000 spectators at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

    “Yes, sometimes you have a situation where you actually have a piece falling into the right place. I do believe that Rinku Singh's father's illness at that stage and because he was away, had the opening for Sanju Samson to be brought into the team for the game the other day - not the one at the Eden Gardens, the one in Chennai.
