Sanju Samson Considered for India’s Opening Spot Against Zimbabwe Amid Team Changes

Following India's recent loss to South Africa, speculation surrounds Sanju Samson's inclusion in the playing XI against Zimbabwe. Assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate acknowledged concerns over the lack of backup specialist batters and indicated Samson could be considered to add a right-handed option at the top order. A viral video showing Samson and Ishan Kishan training together suggests Samson may open the innings, potentially replacing out-of-form Abhishek Sharma or Tilak Varma.
