India head coach Gautam Gambhir says his decision to leave out Sanju Samson in favor of teenaged batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi during India’s T20I series in England affects him personally, saying it kept him awake all night.
Gambhir frames the selection in terms of the team’s longer-term progress toward major success, contrasting his approach with the idea that it can take many years to achieve milestones. Across the reporting provided here, the core emphasis stays on Gambhir’s explanation of his selection choice and his candid reaction to it. No other outlets or additional perspectives are included in the material shared for this story, so differences in angles beyond this account are not available.
While the outlets’ details do not extend beyond the coach’s remarks, the information consistently points to the same match context (a T20I series in England), the same players (Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Suryavanshi), and the same stated impact (Gambhir being unable to sleep after the call).
