'We Want Sanju' Chants

Gautam Gambhir has come under increasing criticism after India's crushing 125-run defeat to England in the third T20I. Much of the criticism centres on the decision to drop Sanju Samson from the playing XI. Following the match, fans gathered outside the stadium chanting "We Want Sanju," expressing their disappointment over the selection decisions as India's poor run of form continued.

Responding after the match, Gautam Gambhir acknowledged Sanju Samson's outstanding performances during the 2026 T20 World Cup but said current form also plays a key role in team selection. He clarified that Sanju remains in contention and can earn his place back through performances. The wicketkeeper-batter's omission from the upcoming Zimbabwe T20 squad has further intensified debate among cricket fans.
