India Considers Playing XI Changes Including Possible Sanju Samson Recall for Zimbabwe Match

Ahead of India's must-win T20 World Cup Super 8 match against Zimbabwe in Chennai, batting coach Sitanshu Kotak indicated potential changes to the playing XI, particularly in the top order. Concerns over a left-heavy batting lineup vulnerable to off-spin bowling have prompted discussions about recalling Sanju Samson, possibly replacing struggling batters Abhishek Sharma or Rinku Singh. While Kotak emphasized that no final decisions have been made and stressed a measured approach, Samson's extended net sessions and tactical considerations suggest he is a strong candidate for inclusion.
