Samson's Witty Take on Gill Replacement: 'Don't Ask Such Questions!'

• Sanju Samson was replaced by Shubman Gill as opener for the 2025 Asia Cup, then struggled in the middle-order and was eventually dropped.
• Gill's injury in the final T20I against South Africa led to Samson's return, where he impressed with a quickfire 37 off 22 balls.
• Samson is now reinstated as the first-choice opener for the 2026 T20 World Cup, with both Gill and Jitesh Sharma dropped.
• He maintained a pragmatic outlook, understanding the team's strategy and having open communication with Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav.
• Samson gave a cheeky response to Irfan Pathan about opening, stating, 'Brother, you make me open, what should I say? You shouldn’t ask these questions, Irfan bhai.'

Why It Matters: Sanju Samson's resilience and witty humor shine as he reclaims his opening spot despite past setbacks.
