Manjrekar: Samson's Presence Key to India's Win, Foiled Raza's Off-Spin Plan

• Sanjay Manjrekar highlights the right-left opening combination of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as a crucial change for India against Zimbabwe.
• Samson's presence prevented Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza from bowling himself in the power-play, unlike if two left-handers had opened.
• Indian openers previously struggled against off-spinners in the power-play, being dismissed four times in six T20 World Cup matches.
• Manjrekar also praised India's decision to move Tilak Varma down the batting order, where he feels less pressure and performed well.
• India achieved their highest T20 World Cup score (256/4) with contributions from all top six batters, securing a dominant win.
