T20 World Cup 2026: Sanju Samson Team Return Update, Assistant Coach Hints

New Delhi, February 23, 2026
After India’s shocking Super 8 loss to South Africa, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate signaled serious consideration for Sanju Samson’s inclusion in upcoming matches to fix top-order woes from left-handers vs off-spin.​

Why Samson Buzz?

Ahmedabad defeat: SA off-spinners dismissed India’s top 3 lefties in powerplay. Samson (one prior outing: 22 off 8 vs Namibia) offers right-hand tactical balance against spin.​

Coach’s Statement

“We’ve discussed it. Four teams opened with part-time off-spin, taking wickets early—putting pressure on us. Samson is a great player, tactically helpful at top. Talking point ahead of key games.”​

Strategy Questions

R Ashwin criticizes ‘IPL mindset’ (all-attack); urges balance. Next: Crucial Super 8 vs Zimbabwe, West Indies.​
