'This Is A Good Mix': Bangar Backs India’s Left-right Strategy With Samson At The Top
T20 World Cup: As India gears up for their must-win T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s clash against the West Indies, former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has thrown his weight behind Sanju Samson’s inclusion at the top of the order, crediting the wicketkeeper-batter for bringing much-needed balance and intent to India’s batting approach.
Bangar underlined the tactical advantage of having a right-hander at the top of the order. According to him, the move prevents the opposition from dictating terms with spin, particularly off-spin, against the Indian batting line-up, which is filled with left-handers at the top.
"With a right-hander at the top, India are depriving the opposition of the opportunity to use off-spin as much. It’s not necessarily that off-spinners are causing a lot of problems to left-handers. It’s just that the batters are trying to force the issue against them and, in that process, getting out," Bangar told Jio Hotstar.
