‘Will Remove You From The Team Only If You Scored 21 Ducks,’ Samson Recalls Gambhir’s Words

By IANS News August 10, 2025 • 07:15 AM View: 830

Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson credited India head coach Gautam Gambhir for backing him to succeed in T20Is, and revealed him saying that he would only be dropped from the team if he registered 21 ducks.

With Gambhir taking charge as India’s head coach after the T20 World Cup win and Suryakumar Yadav appointed as the captain, Samson was given the opportunity to open the batting and has formed a formidable opening pair with left-handed batter Abhishek Sharma.
