India head coach Gautam Gambhir explained that Sanju Samson's inclusion in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup playing XI was aimed at adding firepower and aggression to the top order during the powerplay, aligning with the team's attacking approach over the past year and a half. Gambhir dismissed claims that Samson's return was to break a sequence of left-handed batters, emphasizing Samson's talent and ability to change matches early.
